In a breeze quilt – video tutorial

This is a quick technique to make 3 patch quarter square triangles.

This method results into a lot of bias edges. I recommend you starch your fabrics to stabilise the edges.

In a breeze quilt
  • Quilt size: 36″ x 42″
  • Finished block size: 6 1/2″
  • Number of blocks: 20 arranged as 4 x 5

Fabric needs

  • 9 Fat Quarters – see details on the fabric collections I used below.
  • 7/8 yard for the border

Fabric collections:

To make the quilt, mix the fat quarters and make 20 blocks following the video tutorial.

Arrange in 5 rows of 4 blocks each.

Border

From the width of fabric cut:

  • 2 borders 5 1/2″ x 33″
  • 2 borders 5 1/2″ x 36 1/2″

Sew the narrower borders to the sides first and the top and bottom borders next.

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.
