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
- Order Turnabout Patchwork directly from Martingale (e-book only)

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?

Hi Angela, I don’f have written instructions for the blazing arrows block but you can play the video at different speeds. Here is how you slow down any video on YouTube https://youtu.be/pdQbtALMsGw
