The Jane Stickle Quilt – Block D8

Block D8 is an appliqué block. I’m doing fusible appliqué and I decided to shorten the width and length of my blanket stitch starting with this block. I love the way it turned out. I also chose one of the directional fabrics for my blueberry park version. There was a shadow of the print on the back of the fabric so that I could align the lines with the points of the diamonds and melons.

Note: Unit A and Unit B in the pattern are for the sashing. I chose to make 5-inch blocks like the original rather than sash 4½-inch blocks. If you prefer to add your sashing when your blocks are all finished, just eliminate the A and B units from my pattern. The center sections will then be 4½ inches finished in size and you can add your sashing later.
