Paper Piecing the Intertwined Block
And now for the third and final block of the
What’s Good For the Gal is Good For the
Guy quilt challenge. This block is a little more
involved and appears to be intertwined,
hence the name. I’ll be paper piecing the
intertwined block to ensure accuracy and
perfect points.

Intertwined Block
Paper Piecing Template
Foundation template divided into sections
In order to paper piece this block, foundation
piecing templates need to be created. The
block once again is 9½". After drawing out the
block on a piece of paper, I divide it into four
sections to make it easy to piece together.
The four sections are then drawn onto their
own pieces of paper and photocopied. When
photocopying foundation templates, make
sure to photocopy them all on the same
copier. You don’t want any distortion in size
because each copier is just a little bit different.
Template with pieces assigned and
stitching lines indicated
To make 12 blocks I need 12 of each template. I use regular computer paper to make
the templates. Although you can purchase
special paper for paper piecing, I find regular
paper works fine.
