This appealing block will be wonderful in so many different projects. Finish one, with or without borders, for a small wall or table quilt. Or, combine three blocks end-to-end for a table runner.

Several blocks will make a charming quilt. Choose a variety of fabrics for a colorful scrappy quilt or go with a more coordinated color theme.

It’s a simple block to make, using half-square triangles and one large center square.

When selecting fabrics, stay within a narrow value range so the overall design stands out from the background. Also consider using a dark background instead of light.

The unfinished block, from Quilt.Knit.Share., is 12.5″ square. That’s about the size a one-square mini quilt will be.

PLEASE NOTE: Quilting Digest has featured many patterns from vendors participating in the Craftsy Marketplace, most of which have been deleted by Craftsy. It's going to take awhile for us to hunt down new sources for those patterns. In the meantime there are many links to patterns on our site that no longer work. We apologize if this article contains one or more of those links and appreciate your patience while we straighten things out. Thank you!

PLEASE NOTE: Quilting Digest does not sell or otherwise provide patterns directly. We showcase patterns and projects from various vendors, bloggers and other sources. Please make a note of where you access a pattern (the link in the yellow box toward the end of each Quilting Digest article).
