Named the "3 & 8 Quilt" for the sizes of the cut squares which make up this block, it is fun to make and has so many variations of how to arrange the blocks for a cheerful quilt top!
These samples are made with the gorgeous
"Dapple" fabrics by Patrick Lose Studios,
a division of Northcott Fabrics.
Working with the simple concept of Warm and Cool Colours is a wonderful colour theory for quilters to use. The concept is simple and the results are spectacular!

The method of cutting and sewing together long strips, then splitting them is very efficient and simple for even a beginner quilter.
Here is a link to the free tutorial including the math that you will need to produce this.
The first Aunty and Annie Blog Re-Visit is here!
Here is Annie catching the last of the gorgeous sun beams for the day to get these shots in.
Aunty has chosen this block because of its beginner-friendly construction. Annie made 4 blocks. Aunty made 6. These will become part of an Improv Quilt, together with future Blog Re-Visit Blocks.
Please find the tutorial here: Triple Fun Block with Endless Options
Are you a Mentor or a Rookie (or anyone else who is interested in following along!)? Aunty (that's me) and Annie are so excited to begin the Blog Revisit!
In Annie's words about quilting, "I don't want the stories of great aunts and great grandmas to get lost...there's nothing quite like having an actual mentor to teach you!"
Annie wants to learn to quilt. Aunty has a blog full of content.
We will revisit the content here which is very suitable for teaching and learning, updating photos and adding short videos.
That about sums it up! We are so pleased that you are joining us.

Hello friends!
I would like to introduce and invite you to a new adventure
of Inspiration and Mentorship
that my niece and are beginning called:
In Annie's words:
"Last year I started learning quilting. Realizing that there weren't
a lot of us in the next generation who knew how to quilt, I didn't want
the stories of great aunts and great grandmas to get lost. I took to
YouTube but quickly realized there's nothing quite like having an actual
mentor to teach you! My aunt and I want to scale that mentorship. If
you're looking to learn something about quilting, maybe want to finally
turn all those t shirts and jerseys into a quilt, give us a follow as we
put ourselves out there and share my Aunty's mentorship and my rookie
learning moments with the world."
