Blocks
The instructions to make the blocks are from crazy mom’s quilt-a-long.
Flying geese border
I used the No Waste Flying Geese method to make the border. As explained in Blocks & Swaps & Patterns & Tips.
Piano Keys sides border
The border is 8″ wide. The strips that make the border are 2 1/2″ inches when finished.
Back
The back is made of 8″ blue tone squares and 8″ wide strips of plain white fabric.

My book Turnabout Patchwork
“Turnabout Patchwork. Simple quilts with a twist” is all about playing with blocks – making a block, slicing it up, and turning or repositioning the pieces to make a completely different block (sometimes two smaller blocks) to yield endless quilt tops.
- Order Turnabout Patchwork on Amazon

Manuela, I don´t have the quilt with me but from memory the flying geese are 5 inches wide without the seam allowance and the sashing is 3 inches finished, so each strip is 1 inch finished.
