Mini Series Sew Along 2022

Yup, it's true. Paper-piecing is not my first piecing language, but I love the mini series designs after being introduced to them in a workshop with Giuseppe Ribaudo and Seattle Modern Quilt Guild a few years ago. Here are the two blocks I made in our workshop....


and the projects I subsequently used them in. See how irresistible they are?


For fabric for this new set of blocks, I chose the Muted Rainbow bundle from FabricBubb's recent anniversary sale, which are all Kona solids. With them, as my background fabric, I thought I'd use the Ledger print from Carolyn Friedlander's Architextures, which I've kept long-stashed. 

So the sew along officially began yesterday, though we still have time to gather supplies. Here's the schedule if you're considering joining in:

Week 0 - Sept 1 - Bonus Sewing Week #1 

Week 1 - Sept 13 - Log Cabin and Triangle Cabin

Week 2 - Sept 20 - Courthouse Step and Diamond Sidestep

Week 3 - Sept 27 - Bonus Sewing Week #2

Week 4 - Oct 4 - Hexagon Step and Pineapple

Week 5 - Oct 11 - Triangle Geese and Bloom

Week 6 - Oct 18 - Bonus Sewing Week #3

Week 7 - Oct 25 - Stretched Geese and Criss Cross

Week 8 - Nov 1 - Curved Cabin and Rainbow

Week 9 - Nov 8 - Bonus Sewing Week #4

Week 10 - Nov 15 - Bonus Sewing Week #5

We'll see if I can keep up but it's worth a try!

  3. I'm happy to see you doing this one, which I've decided to sit out. Such tiny piecing looks amazingly tedious, but very effective in a finish. I love your fabric color choices, and they look great with the Friedlander print. Hope you have lotsa fun!
