Wonky cross video tutorial

Leave a comment

I love wonky improv blocks. No need to match any points, and very few rules.

Let’s learn how to make a wonky cross.

Did you like it?

I made the cross in two colours but you could use any number of colours for the strips and even for the background. A truly scrap buster.

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.

These 3 disappearing blocks start with a nine patch quilt block that goes through 3 rounds of cutting and slicing.

After each slicing and turning, we get a new block.

It’s fun to watch and fun do make.

Let’s learn how to make these 3 blocks.

Half rectangles with 2 fabrics – video tutorial

3 Comments

This is a fun block to make. There’re no points to match and you can get creative with the use of fabrics and even turn this quilt into a scrappy quilt.

Let’s start.

Fabrics

The fabrics I used are by Nerida Hansen. The fabrics are 100% GOTS certified organic cotton printed with low impact dyes.
