This makes a 12" block and is partly paper pieced! This is an original pattern. Please abide by the Terms and Conditions of use! :o) |
|
| The first thing that I would recommend that you do, is go to the Practice Paper Piecing Page. When you feel comfy with paper piecing, come on back and try a Checkerpins Block! You will need to print out one copy of the template page per block you want to make on very lightweight paper. |
|
** Preparing the Pieces and Sewing the Block ** |
|
|
Start by sewing the Color 2 and Color 3 2-1/2" x 30" strips right sides together along one long edge using a scant 1/4" seam. Press seam to darker side. Mark and cut this at 2-1/2" intervals to get twelve units... |
|
|
Sew three units together as shown at left to make 6 patch units. Make four of these... |
|
|
Now do your paper piecing of the pinwheel sections, remove the papers, and sew one to each 6 patch as shown.... |
|
|
Then piece the block! Easy One! YAY!! :o) ...on to Page 2! |
