Four Patch Blocks

Free Patterns

The four patch block is made out of 4 squares, each the same size. It is one of the easiest blocks to make. The blocks below are made from a combination of squares, 1/2 square triangles and 1/4 square triangles.

Stunning quilts are created by combining different block combinations within the quilt. It is prefereable but not essential to use blocks that are of a similar format as this will ensure seams will meet creating a stunning yet pleasing design to the eye. So when creating your quilt select blocks that are all four patch or all nine patch and so forth.

I have created a range of blocks for you to use. I have also designed a couple of quilts using these blocks to give you an idea of what can be created. You will notice that some of the blocks have been rotated within the quilt design.

For inspiration I suggest that next time you are at a quilt exhibition, browsing a magazine or come across a quilt you love take a careful look at what combination of blocks have been used and note them down.
