This quilt block features two pillar Christmas Candles and is a classic quilt block for adding to your Christmas themed patchwork and quilting projects.

This PDF pattern for the Christmas Candles includes full sized templates for creating the candle design in two different block sizes: 6″ and 10″.

The pdf INSTRUCTIONS feature:

:: Coloured illustration of the block
:: Blank diagram for colouring/planning fabric placement. This page features a useful key.
:: Diagrams for joining the FPP sections
:: Guidance on printing the pattern pieces the correct size

The PATTERN PIECES feature:

:: Digitally drawn pattern pieces
:: 1/4″ seam allowances on all sections
:: Reversed so you create a block that looks exactly as the illustration
:: Coloured and labelled to make construction as easy as possible
:: Laid out to print on A4 or Letter paper. Three larger pieces for the 10" version will need to be joined together before starting to sew (guidance provided)

DIFFICULTY

This pattern features the same block in two different sizes. I would recommend for a beginner to start with the 10″ version of the block as the pieces are larger in size.

There are no seams that need matching on this block, so it is great for those that are relatively new to the Foundation Paper piecing technique.

This pattern assumes that you already know how to paper piece so there are no FPP technique tips included with the instructions.
