TOP BORDER 4-5-6

 T-4

With this block it is very important to lay all of the pieces out on a design board.  I have 10x10 piece of cardboard with a piece of flannel.  this block was more difficult because there are so MANY directional triangles.  Even the little ones, 5 triangles down (inner white) are laid a specific way. 
What I did was lay them out, and mark the backs.  After I apply the fabric, I lay them right back where they should go and I stitch  from there so there are no mistakes.  It isn't perfect, I could have lined up that center piece a little better, but it is done. 

TIP:  the very tip in this is different than the EPP modification in the pack.  I machine paper pieced it because I liked the original version better.  I applied it to the triangle that was in the EPP pack.


 T-5

The only directional pieces on this block are the two strips on the edges, so in that way it is much easier to make.   I also machine paper pieced the tip of the block, because I liked the original version better.


T-6

This block also has many directional pieces along the edge.  The little oval and diamond in the tip are appliqued first and then applied to the triangle paper piece. 


Keep Stitching, you will improve every day!
