Want to add visual interest to your quilt, but keep the grid layout as simple as possible?
Try spinning some of the blocks to create a topsy turvy layout!
That example above uses just one block – the silly Skyler Sloth – but you could use any single or multi-block pattern. I think Brette Bunny would be especially cute, but you could also make a swarm of mosquitos or bees, tumbling jellyfish, somersaulting bears – anything you can imagine!
None of my single-block patterns include specific instructions for full quilts.
That’s where my handy-dandy layout guides come in.
Each guide contains a materials list and cutting instructions for six different quilt sizes – from Itty Bitty Baby to King Size.

I’m working on similar guides for other layouts too! That way no matter what layout your pattern shows, you can easily use the blocks in a different design. Here’s what I have so far and what’s coming. . .
- Simple Grid
- Checkerboard Grid
- Topsy Turvy Grid
- Grid with Sashing and Borders
- Stripes with Sashing (coming soon)
- Wide Stripes (coming soon)
