This makes a 12" block, and it's paper piecing and appliqué! ! 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 Beaded Chain Block! You will need to print out four copies of the template A page and one of the B Page per block you want to make on very lightweight paper. |
|
** Preparing the Pieces and Sewing the Block ** |
|
|
Cut eight Piece A units, paying attention to the direction of the grain... |
|
|
Then cut eight Piece B units... |
|
|
Turn under and press a 1/4" seam allowance on the curved edge of all Piece B units. (To do this, and to help keep this curved edge smooth, you may, if you like, sew a scant 1/4" seam on the curved edge, and then turn under along your sewn line.) |
|
|
Now baste the Piece B's to the Piece A's, wrong side of B to right side of A, keeping the curved edge free for now... |
|
|
Next do all the paper piecing. Sew a paper pieced triangle unit to the left and right of each piece A+B units... ...on to Page 2! |
