Talisman quilt block will showcase your most prettiest or most striking patterned fabrics beautifully. You can choose a different fabric for every focus square, and the surface will not look messy. And if you choose different value grays for the “shadows” in the block, your quilt surface will have a fun, three-dimensional effect. Your focus squares will look like they are floating!

The focus square is 5” x 5” in size – the size of Charm squares.The size of the Talisman block is 6-1/2” x 6-1/2” (finished size 6” x 6”)

The instructions use inch measurements.

The block comes together quickly, but your quilt will look deceivingly elaborate because the blocks will be set on point.

The pattern by Tilkunviilaaja is 8 pages full of detailed instructions. Cutting, sewing, clear diagrams and full colour photos. Estimated yardage given for a quilt sewn from 158 blocks. The Talisman block is easy enough for a confident beginner, yet interesting enough to hold the attention of a more advanced quilter.

Skill level: Confident beginner (inspiring for seasoned quilters, too).
