Utah - 12" Quilt Block

The next block in our State Quilt Block Series is Utah This block is a bit tricky but with patience, it will make a fantastic quilt. There are “curved seams” in this block and I have linked to a good set of instructions to sew curved seams. Perhaps you can take the time to do a practice piece with curved piecing before you commence the Utah block
