I have made a 10 minute block using smaller strips and it does turn out very nice. Any yes, it is easy. I hope you can find something you can use.

You NEED to watch this video... it's called a 10 minute block, this one is a 20 inch block, and it looks very easy! 3 Seams and in a day or two you can have a nice quilt top. It calls for 10 inch squares of fabric for one 20 inch block. It looks so easy.

You might try it. HTH.

Hello, you might want to try the Goose in the Pond Quilt Block Pattern. It makes a 22 1/2" square. You make strips for part of it and then use part of the strips for the nine-patch portion and half squares for the rest. It is really easy. If you are unable to locate the free pattern just PM and I will send you a copy.

Try the pattern, "Just Can't Cut It". Easy pattern to cut out and easy to sew together, all rather large pieces!

These are some great ideas! Some days the fingers just don't work as well as others. I know JaneM100 will appreciate them; I sure do!

Yellow Brick Road has pretty good sized pieces. I've made 4 and they went together quickly.

Thanks

How about the 10 minute block. That would use large pieces and make large blocks for you.
