Questions

How many free patterns are in this collection?

9 right now, from 17 to 67 pieces each. 2 of them are beginner-friendly. All are free to recolor and print, with no sign-up.

Which block here is easiest?

The gentlest are Iron (17 pieces in 3 sections), Spool of Thread (21 pieces in 3 sections) and Scissors (41 pieces in 7 sections). Fewer sections means fewer joins to line up.

What can I make with sewing-themed blocks?

A sewing room mini quilt, a machine cover, a pincushion or tote, or a gift for a quilting friend. A row of them makes a cheerful shelf runner.

Can I download these patterns as a PDF?

Yes. Each pattern opens in NiftyFifty's free FPP tool, which prints the foundations or downloads a PDF with a 1-inch test square, an assembly map, the sewing order and every foundation at exact size with 1/4-inch seam allowance.
