Block 11 - Tiny Piecing Sampler

To be totally honest, this isn’t my favorite block in the Tiny Piecing Sampler. I think a big part of it is the fabric I chose. But, you win some, you lose some with fabric selection. The 12” Block is made of 4 of these blocks sewn together and looks pretty cool! Instructions for both options are found below.

(Here are the links for all the other blocks in the Tiny Piecing Sampler and the Shop where you can purchase the Scrappy Triangle foundations.)
