The tutorial today is for a disappearing shoo fly block.
I’ve made many disappearing blocks over the years, I’ve even got a book on the technique. Disappearing shoo fly remains one of my favourite blocks.
Learn how to make the block:
If you like the block and would like to make a quilt -or even 4 quilts!- check out The four seasons of the heart quilt pattern.
The pattern has instructions to make 4 different quilts using the 4 variations of the disappearing shoo fly quilt block we just learned. Each block layout makes a very different quilt.
