This makes a 14" block and is paper pieced ! This is an original pattern. Please abide by the Terms and Conditions of use! :o) |
|
Fat quarters should be plenty! |
| 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 Flying Fish Block! You will need to print out four copies of the template page per block you want to make on very lightweight paper. You will also need one 2-1/2" square of fish body fabric. |
|
|
After your units are paper pieced we'll start assembling the block. First sew the extra 2-1/2" square of fish body fabric right sides together to the upper left fish bottom edge. (I show it staggered here so you can see what units I mean...yours' should be even.) Sew from outer left edge to a point 1/4" from the end of the square. Backstitch at that point. Press seam towards fish... |
|
|
Now add the upper right fish to the right of that... |
|
|
Then add the bottom right fish... |
|
|
Now sew from the bottom edge of the lower left fish up
to the 1/4" point from the upper edge. Backstitch...
...on to Page 2! |
