It’s a Classic Kinda Day: Appalachian Sunrise

Inside Banner15

Hello!

It’s that time of week again where I make another block from my Classics range. This week we will be making Appalachian Sunrise.

To make Appalachian Sunrise you will need the following templates.

The template kits for all my Classics are available through Sue Daley stockists and can be bought directly through Patchwork With Busyfingers. This block should measure 12½” when pieced together (12″ finished).

Many of these blocks can be machine or hand-pieced, depending on your preferences and what you feel most comfortable with. I personally prefer to hand-piece these blocks.

These blocks look amazing in all different fabrics! Have some fun with your stash – you can change up the look so easily just by experimenting with fabric placement. Here are some basic quilt layout ideas you can try.
