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 directly from Martingale (e-book only)

Hi!, I just finished the hexagon block and it puckers in the middle where the pieces join. What did I do wrong? How can I fix it? Sincerely, Cheryle Roussin

Hi Cheryle, try to press your seams open or alternatively swirl the seams.
