Have you seen those super fun disappearing quilt blocks? Not sure what to do with them? Here is a collection of 15 disappearing quilt patterns to help you out.
Disappearing quilt blocks are a lot of fun. They are so surprising sometimes— you never really know what the end result is going to be! Disappearing quilt patterns are even funner! A lot of them show you how to place your fabric and a few different options for layouts and designs.

If you are ready to relax for a bit and sew up a few simple quilt blocks– like the 9 patch, 4 patch, 16 patch…..then these are for you! After sewing them up you will be grabbing your rotary cutter and chopping them up into new shapes. The fun now begins with placement play.
I am pretty sure you will get lost in your sewing room for hours moving, switching, staring and tossing blocks around until you are happy.
Materials:
Cotton fabric – pick it up at Connecting threads or Fat Quarter Shop
Supplies you may need:
- Rotary cutter or a new sharp blade
- Cutting Mat
- Quilt Ruler
- Sewing Machine this brother is my favorite!
- Iron here or here
- Thread
- Bobbins
- Scissors
- Seam Ripper not my favorite thing to do!

Hugs, Amanda
you are so welcome Amanda! Great quilt and tutorial. You are totally talented. 🙂
I really want a copy of the Disappearing quilt blocks but can’t tell if I am getting a hard copy, which is what I want. $15.00 is a very reasonable price and I’ll gladly pay extra for shipping. Thank you for helping.
It’s a digital product- so after purchase you have immediate access and can print what you like. super simple!
I’ve been trying to find the pattern for the red, green, & polka dot white quilt as the link you have doesn’t work. I finally found it today! You may want to update that one bc it is really awesome and there’s no other easy way to create it since she used part of the pieces for that pattern, then took those same to make a different pattern, then took the remaining pieces for even more patterns. https://beyondsockmonkeys.wordpress.com/tutorials-2/accidental-quilt-block-tutorial/
