Block 2 - Tiny Piecing Sampler

6" and 12" quilt block tutorials made with foundation paper pieced Scrappy Triangles. Perfect for scrap busting and using up bits of leftover fabric.


I think this is one of the funnest blocks. It's simple but when multiple are put together, the chains (the 4-patch units) make great secondary patterns.

With this set of blocks, the 12" block is simply made from four of the 6" blocks.

Instructions: 

 6" Block
Make
(2) 3" Scrappy Triangles
Cut
(4) 2" squares from white fabric
(4) 2" squares from yellow print fabric

 6" Block
Make
(8) 3" Scrappy Triangles
Cut
(16) 2" squares from white fabric
(16) 2" squares from yellow print fabric

-Sew the yellow and white squares together into 4-patch units as illustrated.
-Arrange the 3" Scrappy Triangles and 4-patch units as illustrated.
-Sew together into rows.
-Sew rows together

For the 12" Block, repeat to make (4) 6" blocks.
-Arrange the 4 block in two rows of two. Play with the orientation, if desired.
-Sew together into rows.
-Sew rows together

Easy peasy, lemon squeezie! :)

Note: We are going to be out of town next week for Thanksgiving, and internet access is going to be iffy. So I am going to skip posting next Tuesday and will be back with Block 3 on Nov 27th. If you are feeling itchy to sew, I'd just make a ton of Scrappy Triangles, especially 1" and 2" blocks. Then they will be ready to go as we make future blocks.

See you then!
