Here's another opportunity for you to use up some scraps! It makes a 12" Block, and is partly paper pieced! 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 Nosegay Block! You will need to print out one copy of each template page per block you want to make on very lightweight paper. |
** Preparing the Pieces and Sewing the Block ** |
|
Stack and diagonally bisect your Color 1 and Color 2 4-7/8" squares... |
|
Sew them together, using a 1/4" seam, and pressing the seam allowances towards the darker fabric...you will only need ONE of these half squares... |
|
Now join the sixteen 2-1/2" squares as shown. Press seams in opposite directions by row. Now we are ready to put it all together! |
|
 |
We start by sewing one of the paper pieced rectangles to the left side of the "posies" (the unit made of squares!) This makes row one of the block... |
 |
Then to make row two sew the half square to the left end of the other rectangle unit, as shown...on to Page 2! |
