The Jane Stickle Quilt – Block F6

For Block F6 I used a combination of foundation piecing, traditional piecing, and appliqué.

First, I foundation pieced the four diamond-in-square corners. After finishing the corners, I removed the paper from the backs of the corners before proceeding to the next step.

Next I arranged the nine-patch block and sewed it together.

Last, I appliquéd the melon pieces to the top of the center patch of the block.

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.
