Hello, friends! Happy Monday 🙂 Today I’m sharing the A Quilting Life Quilt Block of the Month March 2023. This was a really fun block to make, and I know you’ll enjoy working on it. Remember to watch the video for all of the tips and tricks to make sewing easier.
Quilt Block of the Month March 2023
March Block & Details
This month’s block features a simple square center, half-square triangle corner units, and flying geese units. You can see by looking at both of my blocks that I did something just a little different with the large and small flying geese unit backgrounds. I used just one background fabric in my small block but used the pink contrast in the large block flying geese surrounding the center square.
- I used the Mini Simple Folded Corners Ruler for the half-square triangle units on the large and small blocks.
- I also used the Creative Grids Ultimate Flying Geese Ruler for the Flying Geese on both blocks.
- You can also use the 2″ x 4″ finished Bloc Loc Trim Tool for the large block and the 1″ x 2″ finished Bloc Loc Trim Tool for the small block flying geese.

Thank you for the blocks. Your color choices go together so perfectly. I am making the blocks out of fabric I have and may remake when your fabric line comes out. Love it.

I am making this block from your Joy Filled pattern using Buttercup and Slate. The hardest part for me is squaring up the triangle squares. Looking forward to watching your video on this block. Thanks for sharing your expert advice.

Thank you so much for the. beautiful pattern for this month.
I have a question for you. I really loved the quilt that your grandmother made and want to make it..Yours is really beautiful and I like the way you made the nine patch square in a square block. This is how I would like to make mine .Would you please tell me the size of your nine patch blocks and the triangles? I would appreciate it so much. Scrappy quilts are my favorite. TIA
