The Jane Stickle Quilt – Block D9

I debated returning to traditional piecing with Block D9. In the end, I decided I would have a more accurate block by using foundation piecing because of the sixteen outer triangles. Although it’s a pain to remove paper, the paper does stabilize the fabric while sewing bias edges together.

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.
