Print the block pieces onto the EZ Print quilt sheets. Using your color planning sheet color the pieces and then cut them out. The dashed line is the seam allowance so cut around the dashed line.

Cut pieces of fabric in the colors you have chosen to fit over the template pieces. Cut a generous piece, more is better, you don’t want to scrimp and have a piece be too small. Assemble the individual pieces. See these paper piecing posts for detailed instructions on assembling paper piecing patterns, paper piecing for beginners, ice cream cone, eiffel tower, and pencil drawstring backpack. Sew around each individual piece, turn the piece over and use the solid line as a guide for sewing.

Now your skull quilt block is finished! Make more for an entire quilt or use the one as a centerpiece for a table runner or door hanging. The possibilities are endless!

This pattern is for a 6″ square.

** If you enlarge the pattern be aware that the seam allowance on the pieces will be off. Be sure to take that into account when sewing.

    Thanks for the pattern. I am currently obsessed with foundation piecing – It is still a constant struggle to get points lined up but your skull was perfect because my askew points gave it a good look.

    Cheers!
