The Quilt Block Mania theme for May 2025 is “Up in the Air.”
Well, with a husband who flew his first solo flight on his 16th birthday and has spent his entire career as a pilot, this block had to be airplane related!
This is a very simple block, but with the illustrated colors, it represents the propeller on a single-engine airplane cutting through a blue sky.
The “Propeller” block below is made using traditional piecing techniques and finishes at 12″ square.
This block pattern is available for FREE until June 30, 2025. After that, it will be available in my Pattern Shop.

Please be sure to check out these other “Up in the Air” quilt blocks from the other Quilt Block Mania designers this month!
