Quilt blocks are fabric pieces which are assembled and joined together to complete a quilt top. They are usually square shaped.
These quilt blocks are usually made by a technique called Patchwork - which is all about joining together small fabric pieces to form a design. Most of the blocks of a particular quilt will follow a similar pattern. Sometimes the blocks may be appliqued or embroidered.
If I say that this list of quilt block names is a comprehensive one, it will be an outright lie. There are thousands of ways of designing these blocks and many many curious names given to them. Here are some of the most popular Quilt Blocks.

My passion is painting in watercolor, but the brilliant colors and patterns two of my fiends sew into their quilting projects is amazing. I don’t have the temperament for quilting but I certainly love the results my friends achieve. It is even more amazing to know many people still sew all their work by hand as the pioneers did. Holy Cow!!! I’ll stick to my paint brush.

Hi Pamela
Some of the quilts people make are so colorful and brilliant – and isn’t it amazing that these kinds of work are being done by hand in these times when we don’t have the patience for much simpler things.
