This is one of my favorite traditional quilt blocks to work with. the center of this quilt block is called an Anvil. It has been around a long time. I don't always know the names of blocks but this one I do.

I also don't usually include any borders with my blocks but this one the border strips are part of my block.

You can piece the blocks for a border strip or you can cut the strips in 2 1/2" blocks to make those.

If you use a 2 1/2" template you will get a 12 1/2" quilt block unfinished
I send out free templates so if you need one just let me know.
Just a thought here - if you use a plain square for the corners instead of an HST you can add the borders and just trim to size. or you can forget the HSTs or plain squares and just use borders all the way around.
