Hand Pieced QAL - The Dorothy Block (Block 5)

We are so very excited to share our fifth block in the Hand Pieced QAL.  (Please visit the Hand Pieced QAL kick-off page for the big reveal as well as coloring pages.)  

Dorothy block is assembled from blocks you've already had practice making, namely the Half-square Triangle and Quarter-square triangle.  The tutorial for today's block can be found on Kristin's blog.

We can't wait to see your finished blocks - the link-up opens Thursday!  (See the overall QAL post for more information on how to link-up.)

As needed, refer back to our tutorials (including video) on each of the hand piecing skills and basic blocks:

• Marking stitching lines
• Running Stitch 
• Dealing with Seams
• Spinning Seams
• 4-patch
• Half-square triangle
• Flying Geese
• Quarter-square triangle

Fabric requirements are available as well as some suggestions of useful tools and notions and a coloring page.  (See overall QAL page for more information.)
