Traditional Quilt Blocks
A printable pattern book of 31 traditional quilt blocks with checked cutting lists.
31 blocks in two sizes each, with cutting lists in inches and 1/4 in seam allowances.
What it does
A 67-page pattern book of 31 traditional quilt blocks, each with a diagram of the smaller size at actual size, cutting lists in inches and a numbered sewing order. Every block comes in two finished sizes (most are 6 in and 12 in), and each block page carries a 1 inch and a 25 mm test square so you can check your printer is at 100%.
What you get
- 31 traditional blocks, each in two finished sizes
- Cutting lists in inches with a 1/4 in seam allowance, and piece counts by fabric
- The 67-page book as US Letter and A4 PDFs
- A verification report for every block and size
Not for
- Quilters who need metric cutting sizes. The cutting lists are in inches only.
- Calculating yardage for whole quilts. The book gives no fabric quantities.

How it was checked
- Geometry and arithmetic. A script checked that the pieces of every block fill it exactly, that every cut size allows the 1/4 in seam, that each cut falls on a 1/8 in ruler line, and that the cutting list matches the diagram. All 62 block sizes pass.
- Not test-sewn. The checks cover arithmetic and geometry, not sewing: no block has been test-sewn.
