5 Minute Block


I whipped this quilt up yesterday as I finally got my sewing mojo back!  This is made from the Lily and Will collection that Linda sent me a few months back.  I decided to use the 5 Minute Block pattern and it went together very quickly.  Here are what the blocks look like and they are made using the One Seam Flying Geese Method.  The YouTube video for the 5 Minute block can be seen here.


I then stitched down the open sides just like I did with my Mexican Star quilt to create a curve.


There are a lot of layout options but I chose to arrange them in this Pinwheel pattern.


I got a call this morning that my Bliss upgrade has arrived in town and they can deliver it to my door on Wednesday!! I think I'll be doing a lot of piecing to keep me busy until it gets here. 


You can see my post on the finished quilted quilt here.

  8. What size are the rectangles to make this quilt? I love how quickly it goes together and would love to try this as my first quilt since it seems to go together so easily. Thank you for your help and any other pointers you might give to a beginning quilter!

    1. I made this quilt 6 years ago so do not remember the size of the rectangles. I didn’t use a pattern, just watched the video I linked too
