Twisted Blossom Quilt Block Card

This traditional quilt patchwork block looks a little like 

a four-leaf clover, but can be “pieced” together 

in a color scheme of your choice. 

Composed on a background square with four quarter “petals” 

that have overlays joined to base patch shapes, 

plus center square overlay. 

Mix and match favorite paper and card stock prints 

for fun pattern play. 

Contrast offset card base layers create a narrow borders. 

Measures approx. 6x6 square when folded.

ASSEMBLY: 1. Identify and cut the shapes:
A card front base   B offset card front middle layer
C main card base
D "contrast" background triangles
E center triangles squares base background
F center patchwork triangles
G color #1 patchwork petal base shape with
 left & right curved overlay patches (2 sets)
H color #2 patchwork petal base shape with  
left & right curved overlay patches (2 sets)

2. Prepare the petal units by positioning the left

and right curved edge patches onto corresponding

areas of the petal base.

Prepare 2 of color #1 and 2 of color #2.

3, Locate the center guide marks on the card front.

Position the first petal unit at one corner location

so that the interior cutout shape of base lines up

with the same shape window in the petal unit,

with the center point aligned at center guide mark

cross hairs, and glue in place.

4. Position the second petal unit (from color #2)
in the next corner, align and glue in place.
5. Repeat to position the final two petal units
in alternating color arrangement.

6. Prepare the center triangle patchwork by

first locating the guide marks at the center of

each side edge.

Position the four triangle patches with the square

corners at the center, and the narrow edges at

the guide marks at side edges, and glue each in place.

7. Position the center patchwork unit over

the middle petal unit points so that the points of

the square match up with the window inner corners,

and glue in place.

8. Center the front panel assembly onto the contrast

card front with even margin all around.

9. Fit each background triangle into the recessed

window of the front assembly layers,

and glue in place. 

NOTE: you may wish to position the triangles into

the windows of the main background shape

before or any time prior to step 9, and use

small pieces of cello tape on backside

to hold them in place until step 9 when they

can be glued into place.

10. Prepare the main card base by bending back
on the center perforation line.
11. Center the card assembly onto the front of
the main card base with even margin all around,
and attach in place.
