Shoo Fly Quilt Block

"The shoo fly is a traditional quilt block. It is a variation of a nine patch. Instead of using only squares, half square triangles are added to the mix to create a unique pattern. This block is a great one for beginners to stretch their new quilting skills. I've included a cutting chart for multiple sizes of blocks, so you can make the right size for your quilting project. This tutorial is complete with step-by-step pictures and a video."
