Retro TV Block Pattern

Posted on May 15, 2013 by Nydia • 2 Comments

Introducing my new (Well new to my blog) Retro TV Paper Pieced Block Pattern.

This pattern will finish up at 12.5 x 12×5. It is a fantastic way to feature an awesome fussy cut fabric…. Seriously… this was the first time cutting my echino… come on… I know I am not the only one who refuses to cut favorites instead of using them.

or display your amazing array of rainbow fabrics….
I also tried to get fancy… Maybe I watch to much discovery channel??

Paper Piecing directions are not included with this pattern… but you could always check my basic tutorial…Pieces are clearly labelled and a coloring page is also provided for you plan your block. Seam allowances are already drawn for your convenience.

Please do not share or distribute the pattern without permission. I will gladly offer big discounts for classes or quilting guilds just ask… I am easy.

Selling items made using my pattern is permitted on a handmade scale (item must be made by you the purchaser).

If you have any questions, feedback or even a show and tell feel free to email me.

You can purchase it here on Craftsy .

A special thank you to my pattern tester friends…
