A quilter's favourite - the twelve inch quilt block. These are probably the most commonly used. The measurements divide easily and evenly for quick calculations. Whether the goal is a bed-sized quilt or a cuddle quilt in an afghan size, a 12" quilt block is your go-to choice.

This Sunshine quilt block is an easy nine patch design. I thought about altering the block name a little, as there are other blocks with the same name, and in particular you may want to also try a more challenging design in this Sunshine block but I stuck with the original name.

This block uses basic quilt patches -- squares, half square triangles and quarter square triangles to produce double pinwheels. All in all, this is a fun quilt block to make.
