the long awaited Cyber Block Party has begun.

These pics are for the people who are using the book.

as you know, the book doesn't help you to divide the block into sections that can be used to paper piece.

you can zoom in on these photos by clicking on the download button and then clicking on the photo to zoom in.

if you still don't know how to paper piece - here's the link to amma tute

http://www.quiltingboard.com/t-25541-1.htm

and here's a tute that i put together that shows how to put together a multi unit paper piecing block.

I9 notes

1) mirror print the blockfor people using the software.

2) for people using the book you'll have to trace the pattern in reverse. you can tape it to a window with the back facing you and then just trace.

otherwise, this is a fairly straight forward block to put together - its just a lot of pieces.

i used variation #1 from the software because the outer edges are slightly wider and i feel a little less bulky.


this block is up on "that quilt" blog and you can see step by step over there.

K9 Notes

1) sew the pieces to form the 9 patch center to each other first

2) then sew on the corner units that have the final strip and corner stones to finish the center motif

3) then sew on the single corner units and you're done


this is another fairly straight forward block - it is not up on "that quilt" but its simple except for the small size.

M8 Notes

this might be the hardest block of the week because its many section that need to come together to form the entire block.

1) sew the finished block units from the center out. so as you'll see in the photo the units are labeled A, B, C, etc

B is the dead center of the block and you would sew A & C to the B unit.

then sew on C & D.

then sew on the short border units and finally the long border units.

this block is up on That Quilt with step by step

this one is a few photos.

TR5 notes

5x8 = don't forget to print the triangles at 5x8 inches instead of 4.5

yes, we're starting right away with triangles. its much easier to do 1 a week then save them all for the end :lol:


1) for people using the software, sew the long strip outer edge "D" on first then sew on long strip outer edge "E".

2) for people with the book, sew on the shorter edge strip first then the longer one.

this triangle is on That Quilt for step by step.
