The Jane Stickle Quilt – Block E3
Block E3 is one of those rare blocks (so far) that uses traditional piecing. I could have foundation pieced this, but every once in awhile I need a break from ripping paper pieces off the back of my block. 😀
The hardest part of this block is making all those half-square triangles. I used the two-at-a-time method, which you can find in Jane Stickle - Basic Instructions .
PDF pattern: Jane Stickle - E3
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.
