When Soma announced that she was looking for designers to submit blocks for a Halloween-themed paper-pieced blog hop, I was all over it. I love Halloween, it's probably my favorite holiday. All those costumes, decorations, pumpkins and creepy ghoulishness appeals to my quirky sense of humor. Love-it!Trying to narrow down an idea for my block for the blog hop was considerably tougher. I finally settled on these witchy feet.
So here is the Day 4 design for the Halloween paper pieced blog hop.
The block is 10.5 x10.5" (a 10" square block when finished).Pattern pieces for this block can be downloaded here.
Piecing instructions can be found here.
ETD: NOTE Piece Q1 runs off the page and the last section of it is on page 5. You have to tape/glue them together before you can sew.
NOTE2 - in the piecing guide the pieces A2 and A3 are mislabelled. A2 should be labelled A3 and vice versa.
I hope you like the block. This is my first time participating in a blog hop and so far I'm having a blast with all the creativity flowing around.
Stayed tuned to Soma's blog as there will be a new Halloween-themed block every day this month!
That's a lot of ghoulish goodness!
Happy Halloween and Happy Sewing!

Yes that's correct. You have to join some of the pieces together before you sew them. Piece Q1 runs off the page and the last section of it is on page 5. You have to tape them together before you can sew.
Thank you so much for your time! I accidentally sent you an email before seeing this comment. Thank you!
Thank You so much for sharing :-)
Happy quilting

call me crazy, but I downloaded and checked pieces before I cut fabric, and there are pieces so small I think it must be impossible to do, and especially A1 A2 A3 do not fit together on the pattern????
Also, I did check size of print, since I have done alot of foundation and paper piecing so that is not a factor for me...just to clarify
Cindy Hawkins - if you email me directly I can help you out. The block finishes at 10.5" so some of the pieces are quite small but should be big enough to sew together. The A1 A2 and A3 pieces make up the right shoe of the witch. They are marked on the sewing guide.
