3D Folded Blocks

With Esther & Geesje

The only stitching is done around the outside edge of the block!

 

Patterns include:

a breeze catcher (1)

3 small wall hangings (6, 7, 10)

a notebook cover (8)

a trinket box (12)

a shopping bag  (9)

a bell pull (4)

2 intermediate wall hangings (2, 5))

2 large samplers (3, 11)

Plus a detailed tutorial for a 3-block sampler that incorporates all 12 folds shown below...
