Paper Piecing Tips- How to Make a Crossed Canoes Block

Hello Makers, 

Ready to take your quilting projects to a whole new level? For the next addition to the AGF Quilt Block Collection we will be making the Crossed Canoes Block featuring Le Vintage Chic fabrics. Paper piecing can be so much fun but a little nerve racking if you have never done it before but don’t worry by  the end of this video you will have accomplished the basics in paper piecing and will be way on your way to becoming a expert. 

Le Vintage Chic fabrics was such a beautiful choice for this block with modern fabrics mixed with a vintage flair. I love the softness of the colors which give my block a dreamy look.

    Just wanted to say thank you for the pattern and reminder. I was able to use my printer to change the size to my needed 5″ block (print at 77%). I did not use the contrast in the bottom corner, but that was easy enough to adjust. Now, my fall leaves are zipping along.
