Wheels quilt pattern

Today I’m going to demonstrate how sewing a fan isn’t that difficult.

My fan is 9″ x 9″ and it’s pieced traditionally. The large size of the block makes sewing curves easier.

The block is part of my new pattern called “Wheels”. It’s a modern quilt. I enjoyed making this quilt very much.

The quilt is fat quarter friendly and I actually used a fat quarter pack I got from Michael Miller and this.

The quilt has 8 fan blocks arranged into 2 large circles.

This is how you make the fan blocks:

This quilt is fat quarter friendly.

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.
