Quilt Concert: First Notes Block 5

July 16, 2021

Fool’s Puzzle isn’t for fools! I love this unexpected configuration of flying geese- isn’t it amazing the wide variety of layouts you can achieve with a single type of component?

Block 5 Instructions

Let’s download this week’s block and dive in!

Fool’s Puzzle is number 3224 in Barbara Brackman’s Encyclopedia of Pieced Quilt Patterns.
