Turnabout Patchwork Bloghop (and giveaway)




I'm happy to be amongst the bloggers involved in promoting Terersa Mairal Barreu's new book, Turnabout Patchwork.

Teresa's had fun using simple and traditional (with a twist) blocks.
They're sewn up, cut up, turned about and sewn up again.
There's lots of different configurations and it's quite fun to play around like this. Of course, the colours and fabrics used give even more options.
Did I mention it would be a great book for the newer quilter?
My project was Flying Butterflies, using the Modern Shoofly block.
I thought this pattern would make a pretty girl's quilt and because I had a few pretties sitting in my scrap bin, decided a scrappy style one would be perfect.
So I got busy;
Sewing up —
cutting up —

turning about —

and sewing back together again.
My finished top —
I was really pleased with how quickly this top came together - it was nice to have a project that didn't take forever to make!
I'm thinking of heading back to the cutting board and making one more row (as Teresa had suggested in the book!), just to make it a bit more of a useful size.

And now for the fun part - the giveaways!

If you'd like to win an electronic copy of Turnabout Patchwork simply leave me a comment on this post. If you are a no-reply commenter, please make sure your email address is included in your comment.

AND... Teresa has offered one of her digital patterns for a second giveaway! If you'd like one of these, visit her pattern shop *here* then let me know which one is your favourite. I'll do a second drawing for this prize. There are several there I've got my eye on :-)

If you're wanting to buy a copy of Turnabout Patchwork, you can buy it through Teresa's shop *here*.

    that is such a clever idea for a book... it's on my wish list now and I love the butterflies you are making...
    and as for her patterns they are so great... I think the Cog in the Wheel is my favourite…

    So fun to stitch, cut, play! Your blocks turned out great, and the others seem fun as well. Looking at SewnUpPatterns, I'd jump at the chance to make Storm At Sea!

    Your scrappy butterflies are so sweet and I agree with the idea of adding another row to make it larger. I love Teresa quilts and have made Night Eyes. Right now I am torn between Cog of the Wheel or the Storm at Sea patterns. I am also seeing many on this Hop that are being added to my To Do List!

    I love your quilt! All of the patterns from the book that I've seen so far (this one included) would make easy and quick baby quilts for charity donations. I really like Teresa's Cog in a Wheel pattern. It looks challenging.

    I love how your quilt turned out! What a cool technique; I've been following a few of the blogs in it, but haven't seen them all. I'd love a copy of her book - fast is my speed right about now. :-)

  24. Sandra WalkerFebruary 2, 2019 at 9:37 AM

    As for which pattern, I can't get it down lower than three, ha! Cog in the Wheel, Trellis and Storm at Sea Star are my faves. Thanks Raewyn, and will be watching to see how you quilt this up!

    Gosh there are so many possibilities with this 'turnabout.' Another row is a good idea. I'm fascinated by the 'Textured Quilt.'

    That would be a lovely block for a crib quilt. I see it in lemons and soft greens so suitable for a boy or girl.
    Thank you for a chance to win your inspiration!
