You've probably heard of a disappearing 9 patch quilt, but have you seen a Disappearing 16 Patch Block? These colorful quilt blocks look like they're full of diamonds. The quilt block pattern is simple to follow, too. Cut 16 pieces of fabric into quarter triangles and then join two triangles together for each square within the quilt block. This free quilt block pattern is consistently a favorite with our readers every month. You'll love this project because it will allow you to switch up your quilting game and try a fun new quilt block that you haven't made before.

This pattern is not available. When I tried to open the page, it says that error 404. Page not working.

wondering if you could make 12 x squares joined together, then just cut on the angle...would produce the same effect...using the bits cuts off for borders...just a thought.

I loved the idea of this pattern and actually tried it. Lesleydrury was right, the seam allowance isn't there and I had cut off points all over the place. Not so much fun!

I am confused--where is the seam allowance ??? seems when u sew them together the point of the angled square on the side will be "cut" off. Your drawings don't show this but then you never show a photo of the real thing. So, how do u do it?

unable to open the page to see instructions

I can never open these patterns

fun
