Here We Go - Mary on Lake Pulaski's January Block

I knew you all love both applique and paper piecing so it was hard to choose...but.....

I chose

PAPER PIECING!!!!

 

ETA:  12 1/2 inch block - 12 inch finished block

• Pattern is from www.piecebynumber.com
• I washed all the fabric I'm sending so don't use anything else (let me know if you need more). 
• I've included the printed pattern on vellum so it's easy to remove 
• I printed out an extra copy of the design and cut one of them up so I could use it as templates for the fabric. I put the template on the fabric and cut slightly bigger around it for the seam allowance. I found that this method ensures that the fabric is the perfect size and is less wasteful than judging by eye.

• If you have trouble tearing your paper off, simply spray lightly with water, wait a few seconds and it rolls right off.
