The Weathervane quilt block is a classic block that uses half square triangles, squares and connector corners to create a striking design. You can make eight half square triangles at a time with a simple technique, and use them to form the corners of the block. The center of the block is a medium square that can be plain or embroidered, depending on your preference. The rest of the block is filled with dark and light squares that contrast with each other. This block is easy to sew and suitable for beginners. You can find the link to the free pattern below.
