This is the sixth block in the Mysteries Down Under quilt.
Today we’ll be learning a new technique: partial seams. It can be applied to a square like in this case as well as other shapes such as a hexagon.

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.
Buy individual chapters of my book
Now that my publisher is going out of business I have bought the rights to publish my book. Now you can download individual chapters. Each digital download is a bundle with 4 quilt patterns in it.
As well as the instructions and fabric needs to make the blocks you’ll find a section on quiltmaking basics at the end of the pattern that discusses:
- Tools
- Squaring up blocks
- Borders
- Assembly and quilting
- Binding

Your videos look like they would be very interesting but I live in an area where speeds are so low it’s not possible to watch videos.
Since I can’t view your videos, would you please also include written instructions with photos?
