This makes an 8" block and is part regular piecing, part paper piecing! This is an original pattern. Please abide by the Terms and Conditions of use! :o) |
|
| The first thing that I would recommend that you do, is go to the Practice Paper Piecing Page. When you feel comfy with paper piecing, come on back and try a Starry Ways block! You will need to print out one copy of the template page per block you want to make on very lightweight paper. |

** Preparing the Pieces and Sewing the Block ** |
|
|
Cut the Color 3 2-1/2" x 10" strip into four 2-1/2" squares... |
|
|
Stack the Color 2 and Color 3 2-7/8" x 5-3/4" strips and cut into two 2-7/8" squares of each. Stack the squares and cut once on the diagonal to make four half square triangles of each. Sew together pairs of these triangles using a 1/4" seam. Press to darker side. These should measure 2-1/2"... |
|
|
Now sew together squares and half squares to make two of the units shown at left... |
|
|
Paper piece the two alternate corner units, then sew the four units together as shown at left. Your block is done! :o) ...on to Page 2! |
