In some cases slicing isn't even necessary--just turn units as directed for unique designs! Each chapter focuses on a single block; just follow along to sew, slice, turn, and sew again. Find several design options for each block, along with a total of 23 quilt patterns, so you can make lap quilts, runners, and more with the turnabout blocks you create.
