This makes a 12" block and is part 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 Montana Mountain Maze Block! You will need to print out two copies of the template page per block you want to make on very lightweight paper. Fat Quarters will be plenty! |

Place a small Color 1 square right sides together and outside edges aligned against each end of a Color 2 rectangle. On the back of the small square lightly draw the diagonals in the direction shown.
