If you love a quilt block that gives you so many layout possibilities, this is a really sweet one to add to your collection. In her latest tutorial Wendy J Haney walks step by step through the Oregon block, and she shares her own twist on fabric placement that opens up some genuinely beautiful arrangements when you put a few blocks together.
Here is why this one is worth watching:
- Friendly, clear teaching. Wendy is calm and easy to follow, breaking the block into strip piecing, half square triangles, and corner squares, with timestamps to jump right to the section you need.
- A fresh fabric placement twist. The Oregon block has a classic feel, and Wendy's small shift in how she arranges the fabrics changes the personality of the block and the way it talks to its neighbours.
- A free template to get you going. She offers a free downloadable template from her website, which is such a kind way to make the whole project easy to start the moment the tutorial finishes.
Have you stitched an Oregon block before, or is this one a new face for your block library? We would love to hear in the comments how you would colour yours.
