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 Double Chain Block! You will need to print out two copies of the template A page and one copy of the template B page per block you want to make on very lightweight paper. Fat Quarters should be plenty! |
|
** Preparing the Pieces and Sewing the Block ** |
|
|
Start by marking and cutting the Color 1 2" x 20" strip into four 2" x 5" rectangles... |
 |
Mark and cut the Color 2 2" x 4" strip into two 2" squares... |
|
|
Sew two Color 2 2" squares to the end of two rectangles, using a scant 1/4" seam. Press seams towards the darker fabric... |
|
|
Now paper piece all your units. To sew the upper left and lower right block corners, piece together the three strip units shown at top left. Sew a Color 1 rectangle to the right side, again using a scant 1/4" seam. Press seam towards the rectangle. Sew a rectangle-plus-square to the bottom, again pressing seam towards the rectangle. Make two units like this... |
|
|
To make the block's adjacent corners, sew together two opposing paper pieced chain units. Press seam to one side... |
