Apple Pie Quilt Block

This block is based on a 3x3 grid.  The central square is a whole square in an accent colour.  The side subunits are half rectangles- in this colourway the colour is towards the centre.  The corner subunits are made from two flying geese units.

Art Square quilt block

This block is actually based upon a four by four grid and it can be made either by making the triangle units from HST's and a small square and adding those to the large central square (useful if you don't want to cut a print) or making flying geese units for the sides and adding to a smaller central square.  The second method is easier to get accurate.

Cut and create uses the flying geese method
