Sewing strips and slicing them sheds very different blocks as you can see from my chapter Coordinated strips.
There are so many variations possible that I could have written a full book of patterns with just this block.
You’ll find this table runner and the 2 other quilt patterns with this block in Turnabout patchwork.
So you can see all the variations in a real project we’re joined by Afton of Quilting Mod, Linda of The Quilting Biker, Brandy of Pampered Pettit, Leanne of Devoted Quilter and Andy of A Bright Corner
Don’t forget to check their blogs to see their great work as well as read their experience with my book.
Giveaway!
This giveaway is CLOSED.
Today The Scarlet Thread quilt co is giving away a set of Bonnie and Camille stranded cotton.
To win, tell us in the comments which one is your favourite quilt made with this block: Peaks, Diamonds and Crosses or Knots and Crosses.

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.
