I picked out lots of grunge to make this super fun customizable road trip block!

Here are my top tips:

This block is applique and pieced! For the applique, I used Lite Steam a Seam 2 and a pencil. Trace the templates onto the paper side of the Lite Steam a Seam 2. Then iron to the BACK of the desired fabric.

To make the arrows, there are flying geese made and then trimmed to size. I use the Wing Clipper tool to trim my flying geese.

Once you've cut out the letters, place them on the block in your desired location and iron in place. Instead of using Aurifil monofilament thread with white thread in the bobbin, I used a normal straight stitch on the edges of my letters to secure them down. The block should measure 12.5"!

Ta Da! All finished!

Get the pattern from Becca's blog post here.
