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 Schoenrock Cross block! You will need to print out
four copies of the template page per block you want to make on very
lightweight paper. You also need five 2-1/2" white squares and
four 2-1/2" x 4-1/2" dark blue rectangles. Fat quarters should be plenty!
Sew one white square to one end of each blue rectangle. Press seams to
darker side. Do your paper piecing. Join pairs of PP'd triangles to
make each corner square for the block. Now lay out all units as shown
at left. Sew three horizontal rows. Join those rows and your block is
complete!
Here's a 4 block by 5 block quilt , with a pieced
border!
