Free Quilt Block Patterns

Quilt block patterns are versatile. They're perfect when you're making a scrap quilt, and don't need cutting instructions for lots of identical blocks. Single block patterns work nicely for quilt block swaps, too, and for sampler quilts.

Many of my free quilt block patterns include instructions for multiple blocks, like Lady in Red, the Six-Inch Scrappy Hearts and others.

You'll find miniature quilt block patterns and patterns for big blocks. Some patterns include instructions for multiple sizes -- many are noted in the linked text you see under quilt block photos.

To make multiples of any quilt block, see How to Calculate Yardage. My other quiltmaking articles will help you design a quilt:

For full quilt patterns, jump over to my Free Quilt Patterns archives.

I'm constantly adding new free quilt block patterns to this gallery, and also maintain an alphabetical quilt block pattern list.
