I'm going to sound like a broken record, but this week we're making, you guessed it - another seven firecracker blocks. But don't worry, it's the last set and next week we'll be assembling our quilt tops! YAAAY!
If you follow me on Instagram then you know there's a fun surprise in-store for this week's newsletter...
A free mini firecracker paper piecing pattern!
So many of you really liked when I did this during the Daisy Sewalong and I've really enjoyed seeing the projects you've made with your mini daisy blocks so I decided to do it for this sewalong as well! Plus, this might be the only thing I'm good at when it comes to hosting sewalongs - giving away free stuff haha Cause it's definitely not staying on schedule. The schedule that I came up with. ANYWAYS...
Click on the red button below to download the pattern! And scroll down to see the pillow I made using the block pattern!
Make sure to print the pattern at 100% or "Do Not Scale" (double check that the 1" test square measures EXACTLY 1" square) and if you're new to paper piecing you might find my tutorial that's save to my highlights on Instagram helpful. You can watch that HERE!
A big thank you to the sponsors and the awesome prizes they donated for the sewalong!

To enter, make sure to post progress pics each week on Instragram and use the hashtag #FirecrackerSewalong in your caption!
And here's my pillow! It finishes about 18" square and, best part, was made entirely from my stash! Really happy with how it turned out!
Hope you all have fun making the mini firecracker block! Tag me (@penandpaperpatterns) if you share on social media! I would love to see your makes using the pattern!
