Turnabout Patchwork Blog Hop + Giveaway! (Friday Foto Fun #70)
Today is the last day of the Turnabout Patchwork blog hop! I can finally share my project with you, Holiday Trellis! Turnabout Patchwork is a brand new book by Teresa Mairal Barreu of Sewn Up Patterns. The book is all about sewing together blocks, cutting them up and making new blocks for endless quilt possibilities!
I picked out a layer cake of Winter Wonderland that I've been saving and a gray dot fabric. Because I knew we were going to be cutting fabric apart and sewing and bias seams everywhere, I used Faultless starch to help limit the stretch in the fabric. One thing I should have remembered, starch shrinks the fabric slightly and you should definitely starch before cutting! I needed 5" squares from my layer cake and I had to make a few adjustments while sewing because of the size change after starching.
With Holiday Trellis, you start with a simple nine-patch, cut it up into different triangles and sew the triangles back together!
I highly recommend using a design wall to make sure that the quilt is balanced when using a lot of prints. In between all of the sewn/cut/sewn again blocks, I used the mainly red fabric prints of the layer cake. I ended up playing around with the layout until I was happy.
My quilt was finished off with some light diagonal straight line quilting. I alternated white and red thread to be less visible on the fabrics.
The quilt was super fast and fun to put together. There are so many possibilities to be making different quilts with this book.
You can pick up your copy of Turnabout Patchwork here! Or you can enter to win a digital copy below. Teresa has been gracious enough to give away a digital copy of her book and a PDF of one of her patterns! You can look through her pattern shop here! Good Luck! The giveaway is open until 12am CST Friday 15, 2019. Void where prohibited by law.

Your quilt is so fun! I really like the colors you chose.
Every single quilt has been hollering at me!! They are fabulous and I love “disappearing” blocks!!
I would have to choose HST + squares as the most interesting to me, but really the entire book is very enticing to start new quilts.
I like Flying Rainbows.
I love them all and have made one of Teresa’s quilts using this technique–it’s fun and cool!
If I have to choose one, I really liked arrowhead–but maybe because it was the first one I saw!
Nice quilt!
And I should have said, I really like the quilt on the cover of the book.
Cute holiday quilt, Sherry! Looks like a fun book.
I really like the Rose Garden Star quilt.
I haven’t been through the book, but all of the quilts I’ve been seeing made with them are very pretty. I like using HST the most so I would chose one of those most likely!
The Arrowhead & Flying Confetti quilt patterns catch my eye.
I liked them all, but would have to choose Arrowhead.
There are several but the Shoofly block and the 9 patch blocks really speak to me!
Sherry, your quilt turned out beautifully! I love shoofly blocks but I think my favorite in the book is Flying Confetti.
I like the Hunter’s Star variation; it’s on my list of to-dos.
I love red and white quilts so this is a winner
Hi Sherry! I love your take on a nine-patch twisted apart and reassembled. I have been meaning to make the basic disappearing nine-patch, but this looks even more fun. Thanks for the opportunity to win this intriguing collection of patterns. Happy Friday! ~smile~ Roseanne
I’ve very interested in having a go at the Arrowhead block but the book offers so many possibilities
