Again this week we have a block that is very easy to make with foundation piecing.
This is an easy block to learn the basics of foundation piecing, but if you don’t want to learn you can download the traditional templates instead.
How to make a Tulip quilt block
Download Mysteries Down Under quilt pattern
This block belongs to the Mysteries Down Under quilt. You can get the template as a PDF download together with the rest of the quilt pattern.
Get the fabric needs, cutting instructions, templates, quilt assembly instructions and all video tutorials in one single download.
Order 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.
Stay tuned for more!

Lovely block and a great tutorial, but I have a quick question. Should I press each seam after sewing it or only press once the whole block is assembled? I’m about to try my hand at a Storm at Sea quilt using your foundation piece templates, and it would be good to know when I should be pressing.

You can do either. I prefer pressing after each piece because I think the block turns out better but you could decide it’s fine without pressing after each step. You’ll be the judge once you start making the blocks.

Thanks! I might just have to buy a mini iron then to keep next to my sewing machine. Otherwise I’d be doing more jumping up and sitting down than sewing! And thank you for your videos. I’ve learned so much from them.

That’s an idea. Or you could buy one of those clover rollers. They look effective though I’ve never used one.
