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....
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!
That's a beautiful palette, and you know I love Carolyn's prints. I look forward to seeing these come together for you.
ReplyDeleteI always admire those making these tiny blocks! You fabric choice is beautiful! Can hardly wait to see these come together.
ReplyDeleteI'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!
ReplyDeleteYour workmanship is impeccable, I respect and admire your work.
ReplyDeleteThank you Carol. I really appreciate that! ;-)
