Easy Propeller Quilt Block Tutorial

I’ve tried a different kind of propeller quilt block before and I had a lot of fun doing that project, so I was surprised to see a similar quilt block online but with a totally different layout and design. This version by Quilting Blocks & Patterns on YouTube looks more interesting and complicated to make, but surprisingly it’s way easier than any other quilt blocks that I’ve done.

How to Make a Propeller Quilt Block:

Step 1

Cut a strip of each fabric print, then stack them together with their right sides facing, sew them down with ¼” seam allowance, and press the seams toward the darker fabric.

Step 2

Subcut the strip unit into 2½” pieces, then set them aside and cut a 7¼” square on each fabric print.

Step 3

Stack the squares together with their right sides facing, then stitch them on all sides with ¼” seam allowance, and cut them diagonally in both directions from corner to corner.

Step 4

Open the half-square triangles and press them nicely, then trim them to 4½”, and assemble everything together as demonstrated in the video.

Step 5

Stitch them per row, then stitch the rows to each other, and press the seams nicely as you go.
