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 State of Maine Block! You will need to print out
one copy of the template A and C pages and two copies of the template
B page per block you want to make on very
lightweight paper. |

After your units are paper pieced, sew together the uneven nine patch
center unit, then using the template C provided, cut four triangles to
sew to it's edges. Press seams towards triangles. Now piece the block,
by sewing top and bottom row pieces together, the two side
pieces to the center unit...and join those rows!

Here are four blocks by five, with a narrow plain sashing and narrow
border. Play around with this one some...do the "tree stems"
in different colors...or add yet another color to the
"Stars" formed by the side unit triangles....I think
you'll find it's quite versatile!
Happy Quilting All!
