 BLOCKS by SIZE | 7.5" Quilt Blocks |
Ten inch quilt blocks are a favourite of quilters. However if you are wanting to make a smaller version of any given 10" block, with a little finagling, the math for a 7½ inch block is not that difficult. And -- for the blocks below, I have done that math for you! A win-win!
Starlight Geese
Free Quilt Block Pattern
The Starlight Geese quilt block uses my favourite quilt patch -- the flying geese unit. I just like the geometry of the patch. The centre piece (the goose) is twice the size of the side pieces (the sky), but are cut differently in order to make the best use of the grain of the fabric.
The block is considered to be a five patch as it is designed on a 5 x 5 grid, but the construction is done as an uneven nine patch, for ease in the sewing process.
Since Starlight is part of the name of this quilt block, I chose to make the background fabric dark, to represent the night sky. However, your colour choice can be anything that appeals to you.
