Thread: Ten minute block--HELP

I,m trying to make the 10 minute block by Suzanne McNeil.
I have watched the U-Tube video again and again but I,m
doing something wrong. She is using solids for the video
and I,m trying to use prints for my backround. She doesn't
say whether it is right sides together or wrong,
I have tried both ways and it is still coming out wrong.
Can someone who has made this block tell me what I might
be doing wrong. I know this is an EASY block, and I know it
is me. I have ripped out four times in the last hour.
Thanks.
Elaine

you fold the "center" block wrong sides together and the "bread" pieces are right sides together. around the "center block. I hope this helps. Also you are sewing the blocks so that it is like you only filled half the sandwich with "meat" and the opened side is facing out. clear as mud?

use printer paper with marks on one side and staple them according to the instructions to sew. Make another one if the first one is wrong. Keep the right one as a guide.

This tutorial is great on the 10 minute block. Should help you clear up the which side is where parts of the block. It took me a few tries to get everything in the right place... still having trouble sewing the 3rd seam since the block just doesn't want to lie flat properly

I wonder if there are printed directions for this block anywhere? I hear everybody talking about them & would love to try it but I do better with print directions rather than video.
