This is my very first go at paper piecing. It is the botm for my guild. While I don't anticipate using much of this method anytime soon, it was nice to try it out. Tommy held my hand through it and told me that according to physics I was using imaginary numbers. Mhmm.
Here are the first six blocks all together.
Another project I'm working on is a kaleidoscope quilt. So far I've been doing lots of cutting. Over 500 pieces so far and another 300+ to go! A few years ago that would have freaked me out but now I am so excited to be working on it. Last week my friend Julie picked up this kaleidoRuler for me; it is a must for cutting these blocks!
I considered going for an ombré effect in the quilt but after seeing these fabrics in black and white I realized that there's not nearly enough contrast in their values to do that. So I'll just sew at random and save ombré for another day.
Your sampler quilt is fab. I love your colour choices. So bright and fun.
ReplyDeleteYour BOM blocks are awesome! Those colors just pop!! You have been doing a LOT of cutting - can't wait to see the quilt :)
ReplyDeletePaper piecing can yield some amazing results, but I'm a biased paper piecing fiend. Your color scheme is great for that BOM quilt for all the different patterns.
