Is there a paper piece pattern for block 1?
Hi Leslie, Block 1 is just Half Square Triangles so there isn’t a paper piecing pattern for it. You could use Thangles or Triangles on a Roll for paper piecing the Half Square Triangles if you wished. Thanks, Betsey
Love all the patterns, and I hope I will get number 1 and the apple pattern.
how do I get the paper piecing templates for these blocks? Thanks in advance.
Hi Janet, There aren’t paper piecing patterns for this block. Some blocks do have paper piecing patterns. For those, there is a link in the post to download the patterns and print them. Thanks, Betsey

Hi, Betsey! I am unable to attend the Spring Quilt Festival, but already have my room reserved for the Fall Festival. Hopefully, I will have the top made by that time. Will you be at the Fall Festival? I’d love to meet you as I am new to AQS and would like to thank you personally for all the work you did for these blocks!
Hi Cindy, Yes, I will be at Fall Paducah and can’t wait to meet you! Thank you! Betsey
