Two fun modern quilt blocks – video tutorial

Let’s learn how to make 2 of my favourite blocks.  One is a double star and who doesn’t like a star block. Use high contrasting fabrics for this one for best results.

The other block is perfect to use all your scrappy fabric strips. I’m sure you have plenty of them.  This block is perfect if you’re starting out.

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

See all the quilts in the book in a real life project
