Sometimes
you will find yourself one or two blocks short for a sampler quilt. Look no further than the Simple Square – it’s quick to make but very versatile.
It is also a very quick 6" block to match with one of the fun sidebars from my One Block pattern book:

| Available for immediate download from Etsy or in paperback format from Amazon |
To
make a 6” Simple Square block (finished size) you will need:
One
3½” for the center square.
Two
2” x 3½” outer rectangles
Two
6½” x 2” out rectangles.
To make a 12” Simple Square block (finished size) you will need:
One 6½” for the center square.
Two 3½” x 6½” outer rectangles
Two 12½” x 3½” out rectangles.
As I
said it is very simple to put together .....
And
the clever thing about this block is it can look different every time you make
it - perfect as a Sampler Quilt filler.
