Diamond block video tutorial – Colour Fair Down Under QAL

This week it’s time to make Block 2 of Colour Fair quilt along and we’re making a Diamond quilt block.

Get the cutting instructions and other directions on page 6 of the pattern.

After you make this block you’ll have 4 spare half square triangles.

Let’s get to it!

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

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.

• Block Modern shoofly.

• Block Quarter snowball.
• Half square triangles and squares block

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
