This year I have made a small set of blocks in 3 sizes: 2″ x 2″, 3″ x 3″ and 4″ x 4″ that you can use to make your own projects.
What to make with these?
Some ideas come to mind such as fridge magnets or brooches and also coasters.
Mini quilts or wall hanging quilts or even a small baby quilt with the 4″ block is another idea.
So 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.
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
