    Default Source for 12.5" block ideas

    I make a lot of 12.5" blocks for charity quilts and am looking for a source of block ideas. Not all blocks are suited for 12" finished. They are for 10", 8" etc. Does anybody know of an online source of block patterns that can sort on finished size? Thanks in advance.

    here's a few ...
    http://www.quilt.com/Blocks/AlphaBlockList.html .....oldest quilt site on the web. a wealth of info and quilt blocks in several sizes. where i initially found my block patterns years ago when son first taught me to use computer and bought me my first copy of block base for computer --in DOS format

    http://quilting.about.com/od/blockofthemonth/ ....about.com ...blocks sorted by sizes

    https://www.jinnybeyer.com/quilting-...e-patterns.cfm ...jenny byer site. i've used this one the most in recent years.

    to date i've not encountered any errors in the patterns i've downloaded. quilters' cache is another of my faves but someone else has already posted that link.

    have fun ..all of these above sites are tremendously interesting & fun wandering thru & to use as block pattern resources. ( and i've got more links if you need them )

    Another quilter on this site, catgirl807, has a Pintrest board of 12.5 squares. They are mostly from quilters cache and Delaware quilts. The reason I like her board better is she shows the picture of the block. I don't have to open anything to see what they look like. Her Pintrest name is Sally. Her avatar is a desert scene with a person in a red shirt (so you'll know you're in the right place.) It is my go to site.

    big selection; most block instructions are provided in various sizes; great instructions.

    I enjoy sitting down with some graph paper in the evening and drawing up some blocks for fun. A pencil, eraser and sharpener is all you need to play around for a long time and come up with all kinds of ideas.
    Just divide your paper into sections to represent your 12" finished blocks. I usually let one square = 2" for a quilt, but for blocks, I let one square = 1". Just be sure to remember to add your seam allowances to each piece once you are happy with your design (+ 1/2" to each dimension).
