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.

Travelled Roads

Free Quilt Block Pattern

The Travelled Roads quilt block is one for the beginner quilter as it is fast and easy to make.

This four patch block features simple patches -- squares and half square triangles, (the latter being the first pieced patch you will learn as a new quiltmaker).

An added bonus with this quilt block is its directional nature. By rotating a few or several of the blocks by 90 degrees, the resultant quilt can take on all sorts of interesting design patterns.
