Raspberry and Cream BOM { Block 7}

Hi there! Today I am ready to share my seventh block for the Raspberry and Cream Block of the Month!!

Gentleman's Fancy

NOTE:

These patterns are not "free", so you will need to purchase a kit to receive the fabric + patterns.  The Raspberry & Cream BOM was designed & written by Marsha McCloskey.  We are simply sharing our progress and giving a few tips on completing your blocks as you sew along using your purchased pattern.

For this block you will need to use fabrics A, C, and E from your Blocks Kit:

Block Layout:

This was a fun block to piece.  I really love the design of this block.  LOTS of triangles - so be sure not to do any stretching when piecing or pressing this block!  My block is very stretchy- since this is pretty much all triangles! So I was super careful when pressing every step of the way.  I tried not to do any back and forth - just straight down pressing.  Other than that tip, I think this block was pretty straight forward! :)

Your blocks should measure 9.5" x 9.5" unfinished.  The best way to ensure you get that is to use a 1/4" presser foot!
