BLOCKS by SIZE | 12" Quilt Blocks |
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.

The Use It All quilt block is technically a four patch design because it is built on a 4 x 4 grid. However, this block is constructed as an uneven nine patch as the design dictates that is the best way to sew this quilt block.
I had never heard of this quilt block before, but I really liked working with it since it allows for six different fabrics to use in the design. You will use three different patches to construct this block -- a square in a square patch for the centre, as well as using both half square triangle and quarter square triangle cut pieces to form the patch that many quilters call a three quarter square triangle. This is a fun block to create, but care must be taken to observe the colour placement of the fabrics.
