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.

Wagon Tracks

Sample Quilt Layouts

Below are two very different quilt layouts featuring the Wagon Tracks quilt bloock, a simple nine patch design.

The quilt layout featured on the left uses 90 degree rotations of the blocks, in groupings of four. Two different motifs emerge as the rotations are different in the sections of the quilt.

The quilt layout illustrated on the right sets the blocks on point and rotates several of those blocks to create the horizontal and vertical bands running across the quilt. Several blank blocks in different colours add an extra design element to this quilt.
