4½" quilt blocks are a terrific way to use up a lot of those little scraps you can't bear to toss.

Small little gems that give you a chance to try out a block's construction methods, without investing a lot of fabric. 

Perfect!

Each 4½" quilt block on this page fits into one of two categories of blocks—4-patches and 9-patches—though they are drawn on a few different grid layouts. (Think of a grid as graph paper. With each grid unit a square on that paper.)

2x22x2
3x3 grid3x3
6x6 grid6x6
9x9 grud9x9

If you're looking for alternate blocks for a design you are working on, designs drawn with the same number of squares tend to go together the best.

Seams nest.

The magic of secondary designs happens with ease.
