10 quilt blocks we love!

Hello Hello!

Have you ever wondered what are some of our go-to quilt blocks?

Well, here at AGF HQ we like every single quilt block but, as everyone else we have our favorite ones! I made a little graphic to show you which ones are our favorite ones and I will show you some pictures of quilt's we have made in the past with some of these quilt blocks!  

Quilt blocks blog post

The reason why we love these 10 quilt blocks is because you can arrange them differently and they will always look good. Another good thing is that some of them are easy to make for beginners! Depending on the fabric you use, you can give your quilts that "traditional" or "modern" touch. Also, these quilt blocks are very popular because they have been around since day one.

What I found very interesting about the quilt blocks is that when I first started working in this industry I didn’t imagine quilts involved math in the making process. For me it just looked like something super complicated and almost impossible to make. Then, I realized how something so complicated can be simple! ( Wait, I’m not saying quilting is easy) but at first it just looked impossible to me. Oh! And in case you didn’t know, the names given to the quilt blocks are deeply rooted in the history of America. For example: religion, historical events, environment, everyday objects and the influences upon quilter lives.

Now, let me show you  quilts we have made with some of these blocks!

    Tons of free patterns indeed. I love all of your patterns.
    Pat Bravo is my Hero. I love AGF
    Reading this blog post today is uplifting.
    My mom went to Heaven on the 7th, and even though she was 93 and lived the best life ever, I will miss hugging her, and talking with her about little things.
    I have been so sad. She taught me everything.
    So, just coming here and reading your sweet posts and down loading your adorable free patterns, this motivates me.
    Thank you bunches Caro. and all of you at AGF♥️

    This drives me crazy ! What pattern is used for the tops on page 8 and 10 in the Cherie look book??? These are also in the photo gallery. I want to make them and in your fabric but no info! And BTW when you click on the pics in the photo gallery they come up SMALLER then the original picture and no info. Thanks so much!!!!

    Hey there! Unfortunately, we don’t have the pattern for those specific tops available. Sometimes our designers create these products for inspirational purposes. I hope you can find other great patterns in our newest look books!
    Hope this helps,
    Caro
