Bonus Pattern (Actually filling a little space.)

Easy Peasy:

1. Cut 2 squares of background fabric and 2

squares and a strip of fall fabric for the stem.

2. Appliqué the stem to one of the Background squares

3. Cut 2 squares of background fabric and 2 of fall

fabric 1/2” wider then the whole squares. Use to make 4

Half square triangles with fall fabric and background

fabric.

4. Sew together as shown.

Now you are asking what size. This 9 patch so use a size that can be divided by 3 such as 9. Each

block before adding the seam allowance would be 3”. (12 would be 4”.) Add ½ inch for the whole

block and 1 inch to the HSTs blocks. Be sure to square up the HSTs before assembling the block.
