This Easy Block is So Versatile
Make One or a Whole Quilt!
One charming block makes a beautiful overall design when several are combined in a quilt. It also looks great on its own, perhaps finished into a small table topper.
Constructed entirely from squares and half-square triangles, it’s a simple block to make. In fact, one of the examples shown below was pieced by 12-year-old Anna and is her first quilt.

It’s also a great project for scraps. Tie everything together with the background color of your choice. Or go with a more coordinated color theme instead of an anything-goes scrappy look.

The block lends itself to beautiful free-motion quilting if you’re so inclined. Straight-line walking-foot quilting will also be great.

Two-color combinations really show off the great design, as you can see in the example below.

The 12″ finished block was designed by Lily from Lily’s Quilts. She suggests calling your block “(your name)BobSquarePants” block.
