Flying Bumble Bee : FPP Quilt Block

The Flying Bumble Bee FPP quilt block pdf pattern includes two finished block sizes: 6″ and 10″.

The pdf INSTRUCTIONS feature:

:: Coloured illustration of the block
:: Blank diagram and key for colouring and/or planning fabric placement
:: Diagrams for joining the FPP sections, including where it’s important to match seams (look out for the green circles)
:: Guidance on printing the pattern pieces the correct size

The PATTERN PIECES feature:

:: Digitally drawn pattern pieces
:: 1/4″ seam allowances on all sections
:: Reversed so you create a block that looks exactly as the illustration
:: Coloured and labelled to make construction as easy as possible
:: Laid out to print on A4 or Letter paper

There are two pattern pieces for the 10″ block that will need to be joined together (guidance provided).

DIFFICULTY

This pattern is for people that are familiar with Foundation Paper Piecing. This pattern features the same block in two different sizes. The 10″ version is definitely the easier of the two as the pieces are larger in size.

The 6″ block is more challenging and you will benefit from the use of an ‘add an eighth’ ruler.

There are just three seams to match when joining sections (refer to green circles on page 4 of the instructions).
