pinwheels
8 at a time half square triangles
4 at a time flying geese
inset circle
Izy's freezer paper applique
scrappy 4 patch - Missouri Star tutorial
square in a triangle/shaded 4 patch/Mary's triangle
Does anyone else have any suggestions for clever shortcuts to making parts of a block?
I have made a Square in a Square, Have 2 same size squares. On one of the squares, draw a line from corner to corner, then draw another line corner to corner the other way. Make a small cut on one of the lines (could be only about 1/4 to 1/2 inch cut. Place squares with right sides together and sew around the outer edge. After it is sewn, cut on both lines and press open.

Disappearing 4 patch. Disappearing 9 patch. Textured Quilt Blocks. I know that there are 25 different textured blocks, there is a tutorial for each block and can download the tutorial. Just type in Textured Quilt blocks in the search block. I would post the website but not sure if it is allowed.
