Today we make the block 54-40 or Fight that, together with snowball from last week, makes our Tennessee Waltz quilt.
Apparently the 54-40 or Fight block a US historical name from 1844 based on political opinions and controversies.
Let’s get to it!

In case you missed the snowball last week, here it is again.

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.
Buy individual chapters of my book
Now that my publisher is going out of business I have bought the rights to publish my book. Now you can download individual chapters. Each digital download is a bundle with 4 quilt patterns in it.
As well as the instructions and fabric needs to make the blocks you’ll find a section on quiltmaking basics at the end of the pattern that discusses:
- Tools
- Squaring up blocks
- Borders
- Assembly and quilting
- Binding

Hello my favorite quilt pattern person. I have seen the video and I also have the book. Recently in fact today I finished a quilt with one of your blocks that I have done in past years. I looked back on youtube most of your blocks I have tried and I have positive results. Nobody makes a video or quit as much fun as you. Keep it comingð Photo of sunflower quilt. Diana

I highly recommend the specialty rulers (Peaky/Spike Marti Michelle, VBlock (Studio 180) or Tri Recs) They are inexpensive and will provide a lifetime of accuracy and frustration free quilting in making this terrific block.
