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.

Watermill

Free Quilt Block Pattern

The Watermill quilt block is an easy design featuring only simple patches -- squares, rectangles and half square triangles.

Although technically an eight patch block (since it is created on an 8 x 8 grid), it is sewn as an uneven nine patch -- due to the makeup of the patches. Easy, peasy.
