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.
Wheel of Fortune
Free Quilt Block Pattern
The Wheel of Fortune quilt block is a simple nine patch that contains an interesting (and often forgotten) patch. That patch is often referred to as a three-quarter square triangle unit as it contains three triangles that fill a square. The patch uses both a half square triangle and two quarter square triangles which make up the final patch.
There is really nothing difficult in the construction of this quilt block so it is a good choice for beginner quilters. Colour choices can make a big difference in the final effect, depending on whether you choose a light or dark background fabric for the block.
