I - grabbed one of my leftover fussy cuts, which were 4-1/2" for the first square and just added scrap fabric to it. These are quick and easy and make such adorable blocks! I can only imagine the possibilities for these. Here's my quick effort: [ATTACH=CONFIG]354747[/ATTACH]
Such a nice block, you picked great fabric from your scraps. Might have to try this.

Rail fence, all the minute blocks and all the disappearing ones. My favourite remains crumbs even if they take a bit longer, because they can fir into so many other patterns.

Mark Lipenski (sp??) used a drunkards path block when he was teaching a rookie on the QUILTS OF VALOR show. The gal got them done in no time, using his pinless method. If you once got the curve thing down, they would go fast.

I have to say the easiest for me is the Square Within a Square. I have made it several times and it goes very quickly.

I have a beautiful pink/purple/green paisley that I want to use with a pink solid or muted print and two solids (purple and green) and finally decided this pattern would do justice to the fabric. I know I can adjust the sizes to suit myself but wonder if those of you who have made it know what the pattern actually calls for?

THE PATTERN???????? tee hee. I cut to suit the end result.

I agree that rail fence is the easiest pieced block I've made, but it gets boring pretty quickly. 4 patch or 9 patch are close 2nds.

Noting that many blocks have more than one name and many names have more than one block, the two shown in pictures above are both called square in a square, except that the first one has the points cut off. The first can also be called diamond in a square.

What is the "crumbs" pattern? Nothing comes up when I search.

Has anyone discovered the correct name for the "Chicken block" on the previous page?

I'm almost tempted to try to make a baby quilt using just one of these blocks. Just keep adding to it till it gets big enough.
