PLANNING
The Crazy Anne block can be pieced quick and accurately
using the provided *Foundation
Guides. Cutting dimensions are given in the Cutting Instructions
so you can precut your patches, a technique that speeds the process
(see Precut
Pieces Placement Guide). You'll notice that precut patches have
excess seam allowance built into their size, and they're trimmed after
seaming. When foundation piecing, set your sewing machine to a very
short stitch length (12-15 stitches per inch). This perforates the paper
as you stitch, making it easier to tear away when finished.
Piecing the block
Step 1. Print out 4 Unit I and 4 Unit II Foundation Guides
Step 2. Referring to Diagram I-A, place fabric
for area #1 (green print 6 1/2" quarter-square triangle) over area #1
on unprinted side of Unit I Foundation Guide. A dab of glue stick will
hold fabric in place. Position fabric for area #2 (cream 3 1/4" x 5
1/2" rectangle) over area #2, right side up. Carefully flip fabric #2
onto fabric #1, placing right sides together (I-B). Hint: Hold foundation
and fabric to light source for accurate placement. Holding #1 and #2
fabrics in place, turn foundation over so printed side is facing up.
Stitch on the line separating areas #1 and #2 (I-C). Trim seam allowance
to a scant 1/4" (I-D) and fingerpress fabric #2 outward (I-E).
