I don't know the name of this traditional quilt block but I do know that once you've made the square in a square in the middle the rest is easy peasy just like sewing a 9 patch!
My best guess is a square in a square cross variation block - if you know a better name for it please drop it in the comments!
This is the last in my series of Big 20" Quilt Block Tutorials. All 3 videos show you how to make an easy (and giant) beginner quilt block that you can repeat to make a whole quilt top.
The written tutorial for this week's video with how many blocks needed to make different sizes of quilts is here: scrapfabriclove.com/square-in-a-square-variation-quilt-block-big-20-block
Should you wish you can also follow along with all three videos plus the one that will come out next week as part of the FREE Big Blocks Quilt Along where we are putting all of these big blocks together into one quilt top. You can sign up for the quilt along (even in the future!) here:
