Are you starting out? If so, these basic blocks are a great introduction to quilting.
Rail fence, pinwheel and 9-patch blocks are as easy as it gets.
Learn to make all three in no time:
New book out on December 3
“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.

Mysteries Down Under is my first mystery quilt and it started on 19 August.
I won’t reveal the full quilt until the end so the mystery remains throughout the project.
The tutorials for this quilt will be released over the next few weeks. The tutorials can be used to make the quilt but can be used independently as well.
I’ve used a number of techniques in the tutorials. If you find some techniques too hard you can always replace the block with another 6″ block from the quilt.
