This block has so much potential that I have made it before, twice with different colour schemes.
Fabric needs
- Ten 10″ x 1 1/2″ strips in assorted prints or colours
- One 10 inch square piece of coordinated fabric
This tutorial makes 4 HSTs which, arranged in different ways, make different blocks. Each block can make one or more quilt layouts.
For the tutorial I used Michael Miller’s collection Strata and matching Cotton Couture solids from the new solid collection colours.
I hadn’t used Cotton Couture until now, but I quite like the fabric, it’s silkier than other brands of solids I’ve used in the past. And it has a huge range of colours to choose from.
Main square
Strips
- Strata Currant Landslide
- Strata Currant Rag Rug
- Cotton Couture Currant
- Cotton Couture Aubergine
- Cotton Couture Dusty Rose
- Cotton Couture Antique
Each block has 4 pieces and you can put them together in endless ways.
So how did I make this block?
Have a look at a different colour scheme for the same block.

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.
