Block of the Month #2 of the ‘Sew Scrappy Sampler’ is a wedge & applique block…
~Tequila Sunrise~
You can find the complete block Pattern in My Shop or on Craftsy.
~Here are some Tips and Pics on assembly~
Start by cutting out all your wedges… accuracy and consistency are key. I’ve got half mine shown here…
Chain stitch them all according to the pattern…
Chain stitching is a way to ‘speed piece’ on your sewing machine that saves you time (and thread). Sew one piece and then pause, position next piece and feed through. When done cut the ‘chain’ between each piece. 
I set my machine to a shorter stitch and backstitched once or twice at each fold to secure (the fold will be your point). 
Before you turn your points you can clip the seam allowance slightly at the fold to reduce bulk. When I turn my points I use these handy tweezers and hold right at the point…
Then with my left hand I take the tail of the wedge and pull it down and under the tweezers… 
It gives me perfect points without poking into the corner and stressing out the seam…
When you are joining your wedges, sew a scant quarter inch as directed and only sew the length of the shortest wedge.
I chose to hand applique my wedges, but you can use your machine to straight stitch, zig zag or blanket stitch…
I hope you have fun with this block! Don’t feel you need to follow my colors, you can switch it up any way you like.
Maybe you want to keep the entire inner and outer circle similar colors…
or just the inner circle…
You get the idea!
You can find the Pattern in my Shop.
Enjoy!
