The Poutama Quilt

"There are so many possible layouts from just this one simple block. Inspired by ceramic tiles, you can make this beginner-friendly quilt and decide for yourself which layout you love the most. It's made from 20-10" squares and a partial jelly roll, but you can use jelly rolls or fat quarters for this quilt as well. It's laid out similar to a log cabin, but with a few half-square triangles added in. The possible layouts are what makes this the most fun and also gives you the ability to make it your own creation.
