 BLOCKS by SIZE | Larger Quilt Blocks |
This page is for quilt blocks that are larger than 16" as a finished product. Some quilt block patterns lend themselves better to be larger -- generally, because they are made with measurements that are not the norm, or they are more complicated and therefore require more pieces. The good news here is that by making a larger quilt block, you need to make fewer for your final project. A win-win situation.
Tree of Life
Free Quilt Block Pattern
The Tree of Life is an old and well known quilt block, but you don't see it frequently. I imagine this is because of the number of pieces in the block, but really, there is nothing difficult here - squares, rectangles and half square triangles are the only patches used in this block. The only consideration is to be precise when sewing your quarter inch seam allowance so that there is no difficulty in matching the seams of the various patches.
