Way back in May of last year, I started working on my very first quilt block pattern. I put together some prototype fire hydrants, loved them, and proceeded to write out a list of step by step instructions for their assembly, as well as detailed diagrams for every step. It was a longer process than expected, but I'm extremely happy with the result.

Is this a paper pieced block?
This is not a foundation piecing pattern. The only tools required are a quilting ruler, rotary cutter and sewing machine, which makes it a perfect project to practice your precision cutting and sewing.
Can this block accommodate directional fabrics?
Yes. The cutting and assembly instructions take into account fabrics with a directional design.
Can you make this block using scraps?
Sure! Substituting one of the fabrics with a combination of scraps in the same colourway will give your block even more of a modern look.

This pattern was released under a Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 Unported licence. This means that you are free to share and modify the design, and use it to make items for sale. Having put in the hard work required to sew a fire hydrant from this pattern, I believe you should be able to do what you want with your project.

I am extremely thankful to my testers Megan and Danielle for taking the time to make fire hydrants of their own to help me smooth out the kinks. Their feedback, support and patience are very much appreciated. Check out their awesome work!
