Found: Block Tutorials at Film In The Fridge

I've been on the lookout for great block tutorials lately after having redone the Quilting Blocks Tutorial page last week.  Ashley from Film In The Fridge has a great selection of block tutorials on her blog and I thought they deserved a post all of their own.  Get ready to be inspired! (Thanks, Ashley, for letting me feature and us all gawk at your gorgeous blocks! :] )

Anyone in need of a few new awesome block tutorials?! I've found some good ones recently:

Betty Ninja has a simple but striking cross quilt block tutorial, check out how she's done it in HOT pink:

Bitty Bird Quilts did a great tutorial on one of my favorite blocks - the whirligig.

I'm sure you've seen these blocks around - but if you haven't you MUST check out the two great tutorials that Little Miss Shabby has done - the Scrapbuster block and the Scrapbuster #2 block.  They're both so cool!

Heather put her touch on a spiderweb block tutorial that has tons of pictures and detailed notes -- just my kind of tut! :]

And Zonnah created this stunning wonky star ring block - and lucky for us she provided a very detailed tutorial!  Love it!
