I was looking for quick and easy quilt blocks and found this beautiful pattern fromNancys Notions YouTube channel.
It is called the prairie queen quilt block.
I have no idea why it is called that way.

This block is pretty straightforward.
If you already know how to make the basic quilt blocks, this project will be a breeze.
It is just a combination ofhalf-square triangles, four-patch blocks, and a print square.
Its an easy sewing project, perfect for the weekends.
Draw a diagonal line from corner to corner, then sew 1/4 away from either side of the line.
Cut directly on the line and press each one open.
Repeat with the remaining 2 to make 4 half-square triangles.
Repeat with the remaining squares.
See the photo below for reference.
Repeat with the remaining 2-unit strips.
verify they are going in the same direction.
Fill the corners with the half-square triangles.
Sew them in rows first, then sew the rows together.
