I strayed away from the traditional blocks for a day... had a request for a Santa Block...so here you go, Betty H. :o) it's a 12' block! |
|
I recommend two different white-on-whites for the beard and hat trim. This is an original pattern. Please abide by the Terms and Conditions of use! :o) |
** Preparing the Pieces** |
|
Start by cutting the Color 1 3-1/2" x 7" strip into two 3-1/2" squares. These are the upper two background squares... |
|
Then cut out the Color 3 3-1/2" x 7" strip into two 3-1/2" squares. These are beard squares!... |
|
Next, cut the Color 5 and Color 3 2" x7" strips, each into two 2" x 3-1/2" strips. These are the side strips/ hair and face... | |
 |
|
Then cut the Color 5 3-1/2" x 7" strip into two 3-1/2" squares. These are the face... |
|
Next cut the Color 1 3-7/8" x 11-5/8" strip into three 3-7/8" squares, and then cut them on the diagonal. These are for the half squares top and bottom... |
|
Now cut the Color 2, 3 and 4 3-7/8" x 7-3/4" strips into two 3-7/8" squares of each, and then cut each of these on the diagonal. These are for the hat, the beard, and the hat brim... |
|
Then cut the Color 2 and Color 4 2" x7" strips each into two 2" x 3-1/2" strips, for the lower center hat and brim... |

...And lastly, from an extra bit of Color 3 and a
scrap of pink, cut out a moustache shape, and a nose... :o)
