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.

Free Quilt Block Pattern

The Tile Puzzle quilt block is an easy block to construct as it contains only simple patches.

This four patch design is constructed using only squares, rectangles and half square triangles -- the latter being the first pieced patch you will learn in your quiltmaking journey. Each part of the four patch is actually comprised of smaller nine patch blocks for extra practice.

The fun of this block is in choosing a design for your final quilt project. Although I did not create a sample quilt using a multitude of fabrics, this would be a wonderful choice for a scrappy quilt.
