French Connection Sew Along Week 3 pattern
This week, we will be working on the units that are used in the borders.
Pieced Border Units 7 and 8
There are LEFT units and RIGHT units. Lay the pieces out before you sew and pin. This will help keep everything going the right way.
You will be sewing ON the line and trimming 1/4″ away.
The next step involves adding the 2″ squares. Note the fabric combinations – they’re a little different than the blocks. Lay the pieces out before you sew.
Repeat for Unit 8, using the fabric for that block.
Border Unit 9
This unit is a simple Half Square Triangle unit.
Border Unit 10
This unit is assembled the same way that the square in a square unit in the blocks is…but you use the border fabric for the corners.
And next week is assembling the top.
