Block 11 – Billie’s Sampler
Patience Corner is a simple pieced block I also made a Foundation Paper Piecing template, in the case you wanted to be positive your lines are perfectly straight. I used 3 colors in this block. This block again finished at 12 1/2 x 12 1/2 inches

There are some weird cutting instructions. I am currently learning the difficulty of Electric Quilt 8 However, the cutting instructions are simple
This is the Foundation Paper Piecing templates. I did not use this as this is a simple strip piecing.
Assembly
Stitch a 2 1/2 x 4 1/2 inch rectangle strip to each of your 4 x 4 1/2 x 4 1/2″ square. Press to the strip side. Next stitch the 2 1/2 x 6 1/2 rectangle strip to each of your now 4 1/2 x 6 1/2″ units Press to the strip side
Note: I used Solid Batiks. if directional fabric is selected then caution must be taken to make sure the strips and square are in the proper placement. Use grid in the cutting instructions.
Assemble the four 6 1/2 x 6 1/2 units together as a 4 Patch unit. Taking note the direction of your colored strips.
Success! Patience Corner Block 11 of the Billie Sampler is complete. What a fun and simple block.
