Patchsmith Sampler Block 10 - Boxed In

Block 10 - Boxed In

Another week and another easy block – ‘Boxed In’. Block 10 is quick, easy and very versatile.

This block was designed to represent a center square 'boxed in' by three frames. And it looks good made up this week - you can use the tutorial from Block 5 to fussy cut the middle as I have done if you wish.

But I did say it was versatile - block 10 can easily become a Courthouse Steps block by cutting pieces B, D and F from fabrics from one colourway and pieces C, E and G from fabric in another colourway.

Find out how I combined Block 10 with Blossom Heart's lovely Kokeshi doll paper-pieced pattern to create a very pretty mug rug HERE.

And come back next week when I will have two bonus blocks for you as we make Block 11 - Buttons and Spools.
