BLOCKS by SIZE | 9" Quilt Blocks |
There is no question that 12" quilt blocks are the most commonly used. But at times, you want to make a block that is a little smaller and uses easy math. Enter the 9 inch block -- not too big and not too small, but just fits the bill.
Sunflower
Free Quilt Block Pattern
The Sunflower quilt block is a simple nine patch design and would be a good choice for a new quilter as the patches are easy to construct.
This block is one of a series of flower quilt blocks and would be an especially nice addition to your "gardening" collection.
The design features both half square triangles (made using two different methods), as well as quarter square triangles, both units used extensively in quiltmaking. Enjoy!
