Sewing
Instructions:
Step 1:
Print
out the paper-piecing foundations by clicking here. (This is a PDF
file and will require Adobe Acrobat Reader to open.) Trim around each
of the 9 units about 1/8" outside of the dotted line of the seam
allowance. Paper-piece each unit using a very short stitch length
setting on your sewing machine. When you've finished paper-piecing each
unit, trim away the excess fabric and paper by cutting along the dotted
line of the seam allowance. Carefully remove the paper from the back
of each unit. Not sure how to paper-piece? Try our Foundation

Step 2: Arrange the sections as shown below and sew
into rows (Diagram 1). Sew the rows (Diagram 2) together to finish the
block (Diagram 3) .
