Sewcialites Round 2, Block 14

What a springy little quick to piece block we have for today’s Sewcialites block.

This block is brought to us by April Rosenthal of Prairie Grass Patterns.  You will find the block pattern here.

What a quick to piece block!…especially after those of the last few weeks.  I even simplified mine further by cutting my A & D pieces as one long strip (rather than the 4 individual rectangles the pattern called for of each).  For the 3″ block, I used a strip 1″ x 7″ for A as well as for D.  I then sewed the two strips together and subcut into (4) 1 1/2″ x 1 1/2″ A/D pieces.

To use this same method for the 6″ blocks, you’d use strips cut at 1 1/2″ x 11″.  For the 9″ blocks, you’d use strips cut at 2″ x 15″.  These strips are slightly longer than you’d need so you have plenty of room to trim them down to size.

I also opted to use triangle paper for the HSTs.  I think you’ll enjoy piecing this block!

Have a wonderful Friday! Corey
