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 Jacob's Strings 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 cutting the Color 1 3-7/8" x
7-3/4" strip into two 3-7/8" squares. Stack these and cut
them once on the diagonal to make four half square triangles. Now
cut the Color 1 2" x 12" strip into six 2"
squares... |
|
 |
From SCRAPS, cut six 2" squares, and strips
that are 2" wide by the lengths shown at left... |
|
 |
To make the block's center diagonal row, sew three
Four patch units using the Color 1 and scrap 2" squares. These
should measure 3-1/2". Sew a Color 1 half square triangle
to the lower left of one of the four patch units. Sew a half
square triangle to the lower left and upper right of one four patch
unit. Sew a half square triangle to the upper right of one four
patch unit...on to Page 2! |
