Cactus in a Pot : FPP pdf pattern

The Cactus in a Pot Foundation Paper Piecing pattern makes a 10″ x 14″ block. Make sure that you print your pattern pieces Actual Size in order to create a block in this size. Have a read of my blog post on How to Assemble pdf Sewing Patterns for tips on getting it right first time.

Your purchase of the Cactus in a Pot pdf download includes two files:

• pdf Cactus in a Pot pattern instructions (5 pages).
• FPP pattern pieces, digitally drawn and reversed (4 pages). The pattern pages have been designed in a way that allows them to be printed on either A4 or Letter paper.

DIFFICULTY

• There are a couple of small pieces and pieces at slightly odd angles so I would recommend this pattern to people with intermediate paper piecing skills.
• There are a few places (about 5) where it’s good to get the seams matching (when joining sections), but other than that it’s relatively straightforward.
• This pattern assumes that you already know how to paper piece so there are no FPP technique tips included with the instructions.
