Effervescence | Piecing 1

Yesterday, I was happy to complete all the cutting for the Effervescence Quilt Along. I did it in small segments over seven days, both to keep from getting bored with it, as well as listening to my body. Before jumping into today's piecing, I wanted to note that I did indeed make a change in my fabric pull - adding Kona Sprout in in place of Kona Fern. Though trying to use stash fabrics as much as I could, in the end Yvonne's @quiltintjetgirl use of Sprout in her original Effervescence palette indeed seemed a much better choice. That said, it feels great to have the cutting done and all my fabric pieces organized and clipped together.

Our first piecing assignment was to make blocks one to four. Each block measures 8.5" x 12.5", and I must say, they went together pretty quickly. 

In all honesty, I wasn't paying attention and mis-sewed block two and needed to recut a few pieces of fabric and go at it again. Can you believe that? Sometimes I wonder about myself. But all is good now, and of course I can't wait for out next piecing assignment!
