This is the seventh block in the Mysteries Down Under quilt.
The video demonstrates how to make this block using a foundation paper piecing technique with freezer paper.
The beauty of this technique is that you can reuse your template many times and there’s no sewing on the paper.
But don’t worry if you can’t use this technique for whatever reason because traditional foundation paper templates and traditional templates are also provided for download below.
Note: For the Mysteries Down Under quilt you need to make this block 4 times.

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.

I love your regular YouTube tutorials, but I’m confused by this quilt being called a “mystery”. In the US, a mystery quilt is one in which one sews units like four patches or half square triangles or kites together and doesn’t see until the very end what the overall design – or even what the block design will be. I’d have called this project a “sampler quilt sew-along”, since one knows each step of the way what block is being made.
Just so you know about the linguistic differences in the quilting world.
Keep up the good work.

Thank you for the explanation. I used the term wrong then. It should be a quilt along with a reveal at the end then. 😔 The idea was to make a sampler but to keep the layout of the quilt secret until all blocks are done. Does that qualify as a quilt along?

I guess it’s a kind of hybrid then? Or a sampler with a surprise layout ending? That doesn’t fit nicely in a headline though does it? Maybe it’s a sampler or mystery Teresa Style or Aussie style. Whatever it is, plenty of folks are enjoying it and that’s what’s important. I see some are even sharing it on to other groups! Hooray!

Love the new music! 💞 I think you should change it periodically. The old tune was a bit wearing after a while! 😉
