Each of the five quilt patterns includes templates that you can print at home to make a 9" quilt block. Plus there are instructions to help you resize the blocks if you want to make a different sized quilt block to suit your quilting or sewing project!

Each of my patterns comes complete with written instructions and a layout diagram to make it easy to construct your quilt block.
