Basic Instructions for the Fall Flowers Blocks

Print out the PDF file that has the four paper pieced blocks. Cut apart and sew. Please add a 1/4" seam all around the edge when trimming the blocks. Use a 1.5 stitch length to sew to make tearing the paper off easier. You don't have to buy special paper for this, some do, I don't. I use regular printer paper to do this and it works just fine!

For those of you who don't know how to paper piece!

First off, don't be afraid, try it, you might like it. And it does take a little practice! Once you get the hang of it, you are hooked! If you just can't do it then feel free to insert any 6 inch block of your choosing, but.......I still want you to at least give it a try, this is an easy beginner block.

YOU CAN DO IT!!!!!!!!!!! I have faith!! :)

I learned how to do this from one of the best! Marcia Hohn of the Quilters Cache has the best paper piecing tutorial I have found on the web. Step by step instructions, with pictures, so nice and clear that I could never write those instructions better than she has, so I am not even going to try! Go here and take a look and see a great tutorial on how to do this!!
