What To Make With The Cardinal Paper Piecing Pattern Block
1. You can make a pillow by making the Cardinal block first and then stitch on one or two borders on the four sides of the block, you can quilt it by hand or with Free Motion Quilting and sew on a fabric for the back of the pillow.
It will look amazing and it will help you to decorate any corner of your home during the Holidays.
2. Make a Table Runner – Make two, three or more Cardinal PP Blocks, and sew them together with or without sashing, then sew on one or two borders and make a quilting sandwich, quilt it by hand or with Free Motion Quilting and sew on a bias, when it’s finished it will look amazing!
3. Make a Small Quilt – You can make a few Cardinal PP blocks and sew them together with or without sashing, you can also make another type of block the same size and sew all your blocks together to make a quilt.
4. Make a Tote Bag – The Cardinal PP block can also be used to make a tote bag.
5. Save The Cardinal PP Block to make a Quilt, as I started to share some Quilt blocks to make with the Paper Piecing Pattern method, I will be keeping all these blocks to make a regular size quilt. I’ll be working with the Quilt As You Go method by sewing together 4 blocks at a time, this way it will be easier to make the quilting on small blocks to stitching them together later to make the quilt.
I hope you like this idea to make a regular size with the Paper Piecing Pattern method and visit my blog to get more of these patterns that I will be making soon!
