Milky Way Sampler: Block 4 – Arcturus

What you’ll need

Arcturus pattern – print 4 copies of the template at ‘Actual Size’
Paper piecing supplies – read this post for my recommended paper piecing supplies

Pattern notes

• Templates should measure 10 1/2″ along the long edge.
• A2 and A3 are the background sections.
• When you have pieced all four templates, arrange them so that each A1 section is in the centre of the quilt block.
• Sew the templates into pairs, pressing seams in alternate directions so that they nest when you sew the block together.
• The next seam is long, be sure to use pins or Wonder clips to keep it together. Sew the block together and press the seam open.
• Quilt block should measure 10 1/2″ x 10 1/2″.

Block 5 will be out on May 1st (AEST), and this block will no longer then be available for free. Make sure to download it now so that you don’t miss out! You can also sign up for my newsletter so that you don’t miss out on future block announcements.
