This block has 32 pieced triangles, 16 left side and 16 right side (2 triangles make a 3.5 inch square) I was able to make all 32 triangles from 2 paper patterns one for each side. I included fussy cutting w/ fpp, the fussy placement isn't perfect and many of my points are "off" but the over all look is good I think.

With freezer paper you don't sew through the paper, you use the iron to temporarily adhere the paper to the fabric, you fold the paper back on the sew lines and sew only the fabric then replace the paper re press it in place and move on to the next sew line. You can reuse the paper pattern many times. I re used these ones 16 times.

Here's my last two blocks for Boom 22. First one is for TravelingGramma. I'm calling it Dried Apple Pie.
Second one is for Hav4boys. Janice, a June start date works for me. |
Janice - Your new avatar pic immediately caught my attention - such a gorgeous spring daffodil!
