This is a classic block and a skill builder too.

The block has a quarter-square triangle unit in the center, 4 flying geese units, and 4 half-square triangles.

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.

  3. I would like to buy a printed copy of the instructions for: Blazing Arrows block. I got your book turnabout thinking it would be in it but it wasn’t. I am a new quilter and need to have hard copy step by step. I tried watching video but I am not fast enough to write it down. Is there any I can purchase the instructions?

      2. Recently I posted a “block companion” for this block on my patreon site. This block companion can be downloaded when joining as Tier 2 or Tier 3 and can also be purchases separately. Block companions aren’t full patterns though. Block companions contain: Quilt and block sizes; Number of blocks needed; Yardage requirements; Cutting directions for one block; Quilt and block layouts
