Disappearing 16 Patch Block

One of the most consistent trends this year has been a love of all things nine patch, be it a regular block of nine squares or an impressive variation. Melissa from Happy Quilting made a beautiful diamond-like design that will create a whole new level of depth to a geometric throw.

Stacks & Stacks of Scraps Quilt Block

If there’s one thing we’ve learned from our bloggers, it’s that you don’t need to buy new fabric to make an amazing new quilt block. Stefanie from Little Lady Patchwork cleaned out her scrap drawer and used strip quilt piecing to make a design that’s going to be unique every time. Mixed up fabrics have never looked so good together.

Swirling Dresden Block

Modern quilt blocks have also made an interesting impact recently. Vicki from Quilting Lodge had one of the most stunning examples of this, a bold variation of the classic look of Dresden plate patterns that’s even more remarkable with the contrast between light and dark fabric.
