Paper Pieced Interlocked Squares
 

Okay....another picture heavy tutorial....


Start with pattern on graph paper. Draw diagonal lines as indicated and then cut...you will end up with 4 sections.

Next cut outer section off of each as shown in picture. Number sections as indicated in picture.....this is order of stitching fabrics onto paper foundation.

Here is a list of fabric cuts you need to complete this 12" block....
and picture of my fabrics.....

You will need to cut 4 of each. I have them listed by color, #, and then size of fabric.

This is a great tutorial. Thanks so much for doing it. I am anxious to try it.

Follow basic paper piecing instructions to complete each section. Be careful of fabric placement to ensure fit. Remember to shorten yous stitch. This helps with removal of paper when ready.

More pics.....

Next, trim everything with a 1/4" seam allowance....

Then you need to sew the outer section to the inner section. You can use pins to align everything, but I find it easy to just fold each inhalf to find center. Align and sew.

Sew two together and repeat with other two.....

Then sew these two sections together for your completed block. Square up as needed....

Ta da.....I love this. Here is a picture of one completed like this for a boom 9 buddy.....I
