This is one of my favourite techniques. So much so that I’ve written a book about it.
This technique is about playing with blocks, about trying things out, about what ifs.
How to sew, slice and turn a block
If you like disappearing blocks check out my book Turnabout patchwork. It’s a book about slicing and turning blocks like this one.
My book Turnabout Patchwork
“Turnabout Patchwork. Simple quilts with a twist” is all about playing with blocks β 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.See all the quilts in the book in a real life project

Very cool! That’s an awesome way to make half square triangles! It opens a whole new book on the possibilities and variations of different patterns. You are truly an inspiration to all of us in the quilting world!
Thank you so much, Teresa. Jean
