It’s a Classic Kinda Day: Graduation Class Ring

Inside Banner11

Hi everyone!

I hope you are having some fun with my Classic templates. Today I wanted to show you Graduation Class Ring.

To create this block you will need the following templates.

Diagrams-01

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.
