Summer Citrus Twist Block (Free Pattern)

There’s something about summer quilts that just feels… happy.Bright colors, fresh contrast, and that playful movement that makes your eyes dance a little.

This block right here? It has all of that.

I’m calling it the Summer Citrus Twist Block 🍊– a mix of structured piecing with a fun, spinning motion created by flying geese and HST units. It looks detailed… but once you break it down, it’s actually very doable—even for confident beginners.

✂️ What Makes This Block Special

• The center square is perfect for fussy cutting (I couldn’t resist that floral 😄)

• The grey frame gives it structure and lets the colors pop

• The flying geese units create that subtle spinning effect
