Eco 34

I made this week's block.  Yippeeeee!  I paper pieced it, but not using the pattern given on the site.  I just measured out a 6inch block (6 1/2 in. unfinished) on graph paper and then went ahead and pieced it.  I used scraps for this one.  I could make it any size I want.  Maybe I will try a 7inch one later.

Week 34

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.
