Andrea Bishop of the Electric Quilt Company announced the irresistible EQ 2011
block of the month program. She provides PDFs each month for rotary cutting, templates and foundation patterns in various colorings
and EQ7 project files. You can make the blocks without EQ7. I made two blocks.
That I am fond of paper piecing is an understatement. So I pieced them my Make It Simpler® way: each on a single sheet of Simple Foundations vellum. Because, if you don't cut a foundation apart, you never have to put the pieces back together.

Five steps to February Frolic

The February block is a nine patch. I scored the vellum foundation that I printed into nine subunits before sewing. The construction was similar to the Nine-Patch Variation that I demonstrated
here in 2003. The demo is viewable only on computers based in the US.
