Peek into batiks BOM - free quilt pattern

I can’t believe it’s the end of August!

Block 8 today! Do you like how the quilt is turning out? I have to admit I wasn’t a batiks lover but this quilt has made me look at batiks in a different way. The colours are so vibrant, and what’s not to like about this quilt?

Let’s get to it!

AccuQuilt

I was very lucky to receive an AccuQuilt GO! with an 8″ Qube and Eleanor Burns Quilt in a Day book of patterns.

I had considered purchasing one for a while but I was undecided. Having used one I really like it. It’s fast and accurate which makes it a joy to use.

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.

Half square triangles and squares – video tutorial

2 Comments

Just make a big batch of half square triangles and together with a bunch of squares you get these great looking pieces of patchwork.

You can use triangles and squares alone to make any number of quilts.

One of my quilt patterns are almost exclusively made with squares and triangles or half square triangles.

French Garden is an easy quilt pattern suitable for confident beginners.

Have a look at the quilt in this short video:
