These are the cutting instructions for the 24″ block I designed for the MQG Riley Blake challenge. My version had a 2 ½” circle and ‘Splat’ appliquéd in the centre but you can place your own 6 ½” finished block in the centre or appliqué a design.

Assemble as per diagram below.
This is how a simple quilt would look made with the block.
Add your favourite block to the centre and it would look something like this.
I would love to see photos of blocks made using my patterns, so feel free to post on IG or FB and tag me using @quiltjane.
