I made this block as a six inch block rather than 7 because it is one of the blocks for the Farmer's Wife sampler quilt. I killed two birds with one stone. Kathie L in Allentown
I thought we should try a paper pieced block for a change.
I know that many quilters are afraid of paper piecing, but it is simple once you have done a few.
This one is really easy.
It's called 'Economy' And is a 7inch block.
Correction: This block does not print out to 7 inches. The little square that is supposed to measure 1 inch, only measures 7/8 of an inch. Maybe your computers and printers are different. I would advise anyone trying to make this block to check the size first.
Welcome to our weekly block party! This is a group blog for sharing our successes and struggles with the week's chosen block. The challenge of completing the weekly block is open to everyone. The block and a link to its online instructions will be posted on Fridays. If you would like to join us, please follow the link to Hetty's blog, or leave a comment on a post indicating you'd like posting priviledges here. I'll be happy to add you as an author -- even if you are only doing some of the blocks :-)
Authors to this blog are asked to label each post with their name and the week# of the block represented by the post. This way we'll all be easily able to see all the blocks for each week as well as all the blocks by any one person. Thanks for your cooperation!
