I'm at a loss. Need your help. What is your favorite 6" block to make? What ever I choose, it gets too big. HELP. Please...lol

My favorite 6" block is a Sunbonnet Sue and Overall Sam. Great baby quilts. I have made several. If I knew the gender of course I would make the quilt gender specific. If I didn't a good blend of both was always a keeper.

A simple pinwheel or nine patch alternating with a cute print fabric always makes a nice baby quilt

Hmmm I thought I understood your question at first, and was going to suggest this tutorial as a fun, easy way to use 6 inch blocks (the video is for charms, but you could easily substitute 6" squares). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uyd3jbTXRS0&t=1s

But now it occurrs to me that maybe I didn't understand your question after all? Are you looking for help with getting the correct size blocks?

6" I would recommend an Irish chain. Can never go wrong with the classics.

But there is also a Free Spirit free pattern. Search "window pane quilt" and it was about 6-7th on page. Uses a big block (large print) focus fabric and smaller squares around to support the colors.

Any attic window blocks can be what you desire to end up with. Also E. Burns Rail Fence is a good one and Warm Wishes is great.

I like the warm wishes layout using a cute baby print for the focus fabric and coordinating solids for the strips. I’ve made a couple with “I Spy” squares for the focus fabric.
