How can I order of measurements of Block 35?
Ronnie you dont have to order its free just print it out and make it the size you want – these blocks can be anything from 6 inch to 12 inches its totally up to you to use them as you wish. Save the image to your computer and scale it up to what you want.
I have tried to print the sample so that I can paper piece it. I could not separate the pattern from the story. I tried to draw it and then add 1/4″ to the pieces after cutting each apart, but I could not get it even. It states free pattern, however, when I click on block one, I still can not print the pattern.
Barbara if your printer wont print the pattern form the browser right click on the image ( ie the pattern) and save it to your computer and print it from there.
