Each week I share a new quilt block to help inspire you to stitch up your stash. Most of my blocks are available in two sizes, easy to make, and require no special tools or rulers. This week is the Swirl-Round quilt block.
For anyone who thinks this block sounds familiar, you are right! After kicking off the Slightly Biased quilt along several of you reached out asking for more. You shared your stories of baby quilts, feel better gifts, and general stash busters… How could I resist!
So, I have resized the block, stitched it a new colors and am including these sizes in the Blocks 2 Quilt series.
Swirl-Round Quilt Block
The Swirl-Round quilt block is available in two finished sizes that measure:
- 6″ x 6″ (15.2 x 15.2 cm)
- 12″ x 12″ (33 x 33 cm)
Materials & Supply List:
- Assorted Scraps: Assorted Blues and Background Prints
- Cutting mat/ Rotary cutter/ Quilt ruler
- Heat erasing marking tool
- Spray starch
- Flatter Spray
- Sewing Machine
Now, like all other blocks in my series, this quilt block is easy to make, and perfect for stitching your scraps! To help everyone stay on track, I thought I would include a quick video.
The Swirl-Round quilt pattern is available for free until June 11, 2020, after that it will be available for purchase in the shop. Just click the button below, add the pattern to your cart and follow the prompts for check out.
As an extra bonus, I have included a quilt layout and fabric cutting sheet to help get you started. Remember, if you are not ready to start stitching this today, don’t fret, just PIN THIS to your favorite quilting board on Pinterest. This way, you can look through your pins for inspiration and remember you already have the pattern in your library!

Comments & Reviews
Heather, I wanted to tell you how much I enjoy your site and belonging to your Facebook page.
I had never done a swap until I joined and I love doing them. With depression quilting has been a life line for me and participating in your swaps and watching your videos helps,especially during these challenging times.
So Thank you
Sandra Browning
