This makes a 9" block and can be partly paper pieced ! 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 Jacob's Strings 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 ** |
|
|
Start by cutting the Color 1 3-7/8" x 7-3/4" strip into two 3-7/8" squares. Stack these and cut them once on the diagonal to make four half square triangles. Now cut the Color 1 2" x 12" strip into six 2" squares... |
 |
From SCRAPS, cut six 2" squares, and strips that are 2" wide by the lengths shown at left... |
|
|
To make the block's center diagonal row, sew three Four patch units using the Color 1 and scrap 2" squares. These should measure 3-1/2". Sew a Color 1 half square triangle to the lower left of one of the four patch units. Sew a half square triangle to the lower left and upper right of one four patch unit. Sew a half square triangle to the upper right of one four patch unit...on to Page 2! |
