12 inch block
 
I'm working on a signboard for an upcoming craft market and thought of creating one with a pieced top. The signboard is about 12x12". What pattern would you recommend for a 12 inch block? It has to look attractive yet not too complicated.

Thanks in advance for your suggestions.

Wow maybe a disappearing 9 patch or log cabin or just 2 inch square scrap quilt?

i think a pinwheel looks a little complicated but easy to do

Quilter's Cache has the functionality to search for blocks by sizes. The list for 12 inch blocks is below. Just click and enjoy. Good Luck - There are a lot to choose from!

I would do a Churn Dash (or Hole in the Barn Door). You could print info in the large open center area.

That was the first block that came into my head too as I read the first post.

If it were me, I would do a Carpenters Star. But you will get a 100 different answers here. Good Luck

How about the "Friendship Star", it is simple yet beautiful and has room for text.

Wow, how did I never see this link before? Thank you Barb so much for posting it. It's a keeper for sure.
