I third Warm Wishes!

I love pinwheels. And warm wishes.

Half-square triangles. They can be done in dozens of different designs.

I have so many! I have hundreds of 6" blocks ready to sew together into another quilt. I would be hard to pick one.

Warm Wishes. Easiest pattern to make.

I had never heard of Warm Wishes but when I googled it, I loved it and I printed a copy for my never-ending to do list.

I have to Google frequently. I also have the abbreviations page bookmarked! Now that I know what it is, I love the Warm Wishes quilt. I downloaded the instructions. TY

Ditto to HSTs. Simple and quick. There is always lots of "movement" in the final layout. My favorite pattern layout is barn raising and it works centered or off center.

Simple four patch for me!

Nine patch alternating with solids or a focus fabric.

Love-love-love some stars. Great for everything.

My favorite 6" block is the pinwheel block.https://cdn.quiltingboard.com/images/smilies/smile.png

Lately, my go-to books for 6" blocks are The Splendid Sampler 1 and 2, by Pat Sloan. It offers a mix of modern and traditional designs, some easy, some not.

I just finished a 9 patch alternated with a rail fence block for a baby quilt and it came out really nice. I was using a black print with a black and white rail fence so not to distracting with colors.
