Questions about this pattern
Do I need to know paper piecing?
Yes. Basic foundation paper piecing is required, and this pattern does not teach it.
Is this a whole quilt pattern?
No. It is one block with a fabric key and amounts for each size, not a full-quilt plan.
How do I know the template printed at the right size?
Each template page carries a 1-inch scale square. Print at 100% and measure it before you sew.
Which block sizes are in it?
Several finished block sizes, each stating its smallest finished piece. The exact sizes are a placeholder until the pattern file is final.
