LOVE FPP Block and Cushion

The LOVE Foundation Paper Piecing pattern features two finished block sizes: 6″ and 10″ plus comprehensive instructions for turning the 10″ block into a cushion. Once finished, your LOVE cushion will measure approximately 14″ square.

Your purchase of the LOVE Cushion pdf download includes three files:

:: pdf LOVE Cushion and Block pattern instructions (10 pages)
:: Pattern Pieces in two versions:

• Tiled FPP pattern pieces (4 pages). Pages are designed in a way that allows them to be printed on either A4 or Letter paper. Some pages will need to be joined together to complete a couple of the larger pattern pieces for the 10″ block
• Large Format pattern pieces on A3 paper (11.7″ x 16.5″), great if you prefer to have your patterns printed by a copy shop or have a large format printer at home. This file features just the 10″ block pattern pieces

DIFFICULTY

When it comes to the paper piecing element of the project, I would recommend this pattern to a confident beginner. There are no terribly small pieces, no seams to match and the sections come together quite quickly.

This pattern assumes that you already know how to paper piece so there are no FPP technique tips included with the instructions.
