quilt block

A quilt block is a single, often decorative, section of a quilt that combines fabric pieces arranged in a specific pattern. These blocks are the building units of a quilt, usually crafted separately and then sewn together to create the finished textile. Each block can vary in design, size, and color, contributing to the overall aesthetic. Quilt blocks allow for creativity and personalization, making each quilt unique. The pattern and arrangement of these blocks influence the quilt’s appearance, and they are fundamental to traditional and modern quilting techniques.
