Beginning quilters find that making a quilt of large proportions is a daunting task.  I like to tell them to take it one block at a time.  Once they get that experience, then they can learn to chain piece or alternate blocks in their quilts.  But, to keep their talents progressing, work on mastering a simple block that does not require any sort of triangles.

Here’s another simple block that a beginner, as well as advanced quilters, can use to continue to perfect their craft:

For this block, you will need the following fabrics cut:

• TWO (2) 6 1/2″ squares
• EIGHT (8) 3 1/2″ squares of various colors

Now, it’s time to construct your block!
