Shoo Fly Quilt Block Instructions

December 02, 2016

The Shoo Fly Block is such a great block to play around with. I have used it many times and never tire of finding new ways to put them into my quilts.

The two sizes of Shoo Fly Blocks I like to use are (3) inch and (6) inch

Here are the instructions for constructing these cute, versitile blocks.

Some of the quilts I have used the Shoo Fly Block in.
