Number 9 Box

The ninth block is called BOX .  Eight half square triangles and one square.  I printed out a pp pattern for this block.  Instead of using small pieces for it all I used larger pieces and joined squares that were the same colour.  I went for a blue center.  Larger pieces meant less sewing as three seams were eliminated.


Gee, am I only at nine..well 10 is
 Bowtie.

I didn't paperpiece this one either.

corners pinned

I cut the larger squares, cut the smaller ones...put the small square on one corner of the large marked a line and sewed across,chain sewing them all,then flipped the corner over, pressed, flipped it back trimmed off the back and sewed the 4 together..
