عرق السوس الأسود من إيرين بلانك

I love how clearly the seam allowances are marked in this Irene Blanck pattern—made my first English paper piecing project much less intimidating. The diagram for assembling the black licorice blocks was surprisingly easy to follow.

I’ve been piecing for a while and this pattern’s layout is refreshingly clear—the steps guide you through the EPP shapes without confusion. The finished block has a bold, vintage feel that stands out in my quilt.

The paper piece templates fit together perfectly, and the instructions are easy to follow even for a beginner. I'm already planning my next project with this design.
