Block 11

1. Print one (1) copy of the current pattern.  Each pattern should measure 6.5", unfinished.  It is extremely important that each block in this 12 block series be printed the same size.  If sizes are inconsistent, the quilt top will not go together easily.  

2. Paper-piece each block using any fabric selections that you like.   Be sure to sew the units in the "ABC" and/or "123" order.  
     Sew A1 to A2, then sew A3 onto A2, etc.  Sew B1 to B2, etc.  Sew C1 to C2, etc.  Lastly, sew A to B, then add C, etc.  In other words, sew the pieces into units first, then sew the units into the mini-block.  
     Use a fabric with a theme for the largest sections.  This would provide an opportunity to "showcase" the theme.

3. Press each block flat.  It measures 6.5" x 6.5" at this point.

4. Do not remove the foundation from this block.

5. Set this block aside until all 12 blocks in this project are complete.

     For a different look, how about these setting samples?  Experiment with sashings and/or rotation of blocks!

      Have fun!
