Now if scrappy isn't your thing you don't have to make this jellyfish scrappy you can use single pieces of fabric. A fat quarter of each color should be enough. This is a huge block 30x30, if that's too big for your project you can just make 1/4 of the overall block.

Making A Scrappy Jellyfish Quilt Block
In the pattern you'll notice mention of spinning seams. I do this with every seam possible when I sew it is such common place thing for me that I assume all quilters know how to do this. I was reminded recently that not everyone does this or knows how to do it so I made a little video showing you how to spin seams. It is really easy to do and it will make a huge difference in your finished quilts.
Now let's make the block! This video is longer than I normally do, it is around 15 minutes long. We don't do applique here so I wanted to make sure I covered EVERYTHING! The technique for the applique is what I call faux-needle turn. It is a technique I picked up doing a block of the month from Quilt in a Day.
That's it! You just need to repeat that process with your other three colorways.
Be sure to head over to the round-up posts to see all the blocks this week.
