One sunrise block

I had to struggle to make this come out the correct size, but in the end it worked out. I paper-pieced the rays first, and appliquéd the yellow center on pretty easily, but ran into challenges when I tried to reverse-applique the outside border onto the paper-pieced center.

For my next block (for my own sampler) I think I will try to make the ray unit first and then appliqué that unit to a 14.5 x 7.5 rectangle. Then I will cut away the back, and see if that is more stable.

I’d like to donate this block.

  1. I’ll be interested to hear if it works better for you to appliqué the arc onto the rectangle.
