Two disappearing quilt blocks with pre-cuts

January 2, 2021 TeresaDownUnder 2 Comments

Time to cut and slice.

Both blocks can be made with pre-cuts, one with layer cakes and the other one uses layer cakes. But you can just cut your pieces as well.

If you like this technique check out my book for other disappearing blocks.

Order 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.

This block has so much potential. You can use different fabrics, solids, prints, same tone, scrappy -the sky is the limit.

The mini quilt above is made with 4 modern 12 inch blocks. Each block is made with four half square triangles (HSTs).

How I made this block

Fabric needs

Ten 10 inch x 1 1/2 inch strips in assorted prints or colours (the scrappier the better)
One 10 inch square piece of white fabric

This tutorial makes 4 HSTs which, arranged in different ways, make different blocks. Each block can make one or more quilt layouts.

Table runner with stack and cut techniques – video tutorial

I see this project as the perfect one for a New Year’s eve dinner.

This project uses the sparkly Michael Miller Collection Fairy Frost Metallics. I used layer cakes but you can use just 10″ squares from any collection.

Let’s get to it and make a festive table runner.
