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.

Sunshine

Free Quilt Block Pattern

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.
