Mariposa Puzzle 5 - 12 Blocks

Posted by Wanda Milankov on

Our goal this week is to complete 12 more blocks.

Don't panic! These are 12 easy ones. 

You will need:

     - pattern pages 3 and 5

     - a sewing machine and regular sewing supplies

     - an iron and ironing surface

     - the following fabric pieces

 

2½”

(3½”, 4½”) sq.

2½”x4½”

(3½”x6½”,

4½”x8½”)

2½”x6½”

(3½”x9½”,

4½”x12½”)

A 2
U 1 2
V 2
W 5 1 3
X 3 1
Y 13 6
Z 11 11

 

The blocks to be made this week are numbers 1, 3, 6, 43, 49, 51, 7, 34, 50, 11, 12 on page 3 and 32 on page 5.

Notice that these blocks are quite similar so stacking and chaining makes the task simpler. Try it with # 3, 6, 43, 49 and 51.

In case you are not familiar with chaining, sew the same squares in a stack together one after another. 

These can be easily cut apart and pressed. The photo below shows a Gypsy Gizmo...wonderful for this job!
Remember to label the blocks.
We are more than half way with block construction!

 

 

Installment  #6 will be posted July 12th , 2021
