Nine Easy Pieces
Hold up your hand if you have already made Marcella. I’m guessing quite a few of you flipped through the 1930s Farmer’s Wife Sampler Quilt book and made a bunch of the “easy” blocks before we even started the Sew Along.
As we say on the PDF, it is not difficult to just use the printed-paper patterns and cut the 9 pieces and sew them together. Besides, we don’t actually have templates for those shapes.
Grainline Geek Alert
As grainline geeks, we wanted to make sure that the corners on 56B were on straight grain, not bias! In addition, you know how we love to share ways to “teach the templates tricks"!We hope you will enjoy reading how we cut the pieces for Marcella.

My hand is up Marti, but I thank you for the tutorial. I did print it out. :)
