Providence looks very intricate, doesn't it? It has quite a few patches (25) but they are made up of popular units that you've had lots of practice with (or soon will, if you're a beginning quilter). I made this 5-patch quilt block a bit larger than usual (we often see 10" square versions) so that units are larger and less fussy to handle. It finishes at 12-1/2" x 12-1/2".
