At first sight one can see this is an easy block. It has only 11 pieces and the layout is very straight forward.
If you’ve never done paper piecing this is a really good and easy block to start with.
I really like how this block turned out. I don’t know why but it’s pretty. Maybe it’s the fabric combination what makes it pleasing to the eye.
I used just one 5 inch charm square for this block.
Cut the charm square in four 2 1/2 in squares and then cut each into a triangle.
Print the pattern and piece away.
Where to get the Jane A. Stickle Quilt patterns
Susan Gatewood’s paper foundation . All patterns are free though Susan says “I only ask that you consider making a donation to the Bennington Museum, in Bennington, Vermont. And if you do, it would make me tremendously happy if you would tell them that you have received help from me.” I totally recommend Susan’s patterns as they are very easy to use.
Virtual quilt
See all blocks I’ve done together in a larger size.
Hi Teresa. Meanwhile I began my DearJaneQuilt too…. this block was my second one – cause it was so easy! I’m still afraid of all these curved blocks. And I managed to create an own kind of virtual designwall – not perfect but ok. 🙂 Like the fabric you choose for your block. Have you an idea for a color scheme of your whole quilt or do you decide individual for every block?

Happy Valentine’s day Susan. For the colour scheme I’m choosing fabrics randomly. I wanted to do mostly flowers and toned down colours as much as possible but I’ll see how I go.
