     This is a very simple pattern.  Be sure to cut your background square approximately .25" - .5" larger than needed to allow for  "shrinkage" when appliquéing.  Once you finish appliquéing, trim the block to it's appropriate size.

     Also, remember that the image you trace will cause your block to be a mirror image.  So, if you want the block to face the same direction as the one shown above, then use the mirror pattern.

     The block shown above is 8.5", unfinished.  

     This block was fused down with a lightweight, double-sided fusible webbing, then appliquéd using the Buttonhole Stitch.  For help with fusible appliqué, refer to the Fusible Appliqué tutorial.

Here is a row of Attic Window Showcase blocks, made using these Bug Critter patterns.

  "All About Blocks" is a work in progress, so be sure to check back often, as more and more free block patterns in multiple sizes are added!  All block patterns that are linked to from the "Quilting Passion Patterns" page are created by Terry Crawford, and although many of them are traditional patterns, a great deal of them are original designs.  Please respect the copyright of this site.  Thank you!
