Description
Precision Patchwork skills
We continue to build on your patchwork skills with the Shoo Fly and Monkey Wrench blocks.
In this workshop, you’ll get a refresher course in making the Half-square triangle units for the corners using the rotary cutter, sewing machine, and your square-up ruler. You’ll also learn the simple maths needed to create the rectangle units for the Monkey Wrench block. Precision piecing!
There are workshop notes if you want to make this by hand.
Scrap Quilt Possibility
You can create a stunning scrap quilt with these simple 9-patch blocks. They are both very easy to rescale into smaller or larger blocks.
