It’s a Classic Kinda Day: Appalachian Sunrise

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.

Following the hand piecing instructions sew 1-E piece to 1-B piece as shown in the diagram.

Make 4

Finger press the seams.

Sew 1-D piece to 1-B piece as shown in the diagram.

Make 4

Finger press the seams.

Sew 1-C piece to 1-B piece as shown in the diagram.

Make 4

Press carefully

Sew pieces BC, BD and BE piece together using one continuous thread.

Finger press seams.

Sew 4-F pieces to the corners of the block as shown in the diagram.

 

Press Carefully.

Sew 1-A piece to the centre, making sure you pin carefully.

Note: You could applique the circle to the middle if you prefer.

The block should now measure 12½” square and like the following.

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.

I would love to see your work, so remember share your creations using the #suedaleyclassics hashtag on social media.
