Blocks in a Box
DIFFICULTY LEVEL ‣ BEGINNER
FINISHED BLOCK SIZE: 9″ x 9″
This block is fast, easy, and fun to sew together, and if you choose to do so, it combines nicely with a variety of other blocks because of its simplicity. Another great thing about this block is that if you wish to use your favorite prints, it shows them off beautifully because it uses big pieces of fabric. A finished quilt using this block repeatedly and using your scraps or a fat quarter bundle makes for a striking quilt!
