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.
- Order Turnabout Patchwork on Amazon
- Order Turnabout Patchwork directly from Martingale (e-book only)

Hi I’m wondering what are the dimensions of the finished bag using 18″ squares? thought I saw it somewhere but can’t find it again – and is there an easy conversion from the square measurements to finished bag size? thanks

Love the look of the bag. Using up some of my scraps up which is better again. I wonder if I’m able to make it a bit bigger by cutting larger squares and could I put pockets in the lining. Thank you. Sandra
