The
Prairie Queen Quilt Block
 The
Prairie Queen Quilt block is a 9-patch block, as you can see from the grids on
the block at the left. Four of the grids has been further
divided by 4-patches, so you can also say this is a 9-patch block that has
been further divided into 36 grids.
The Prairie Queen quilting block is not hard to make. There is a plain
square in the center of this block,
half square triangles in the corners, and
4-patches on the sides. These are all beginning quilt blocks.
Decide on the side of your patches, and make the units. Sew them
together using good piecing and pressing techniques, and you are done.
