Paper piecing!!!I have procrastinated over this for a long time. Finally, I tried this afternoon using a set of instructions I wrote while I watched someone else do a demonstration. I actually got it to work!!!! It wasn't that difficult really and I now I don't know why I waited so long! lol.
The photo is of a practice piece. Now to try it again on fabric for a Morrell quilt block.
I didn't post a photo of any flowers this morning, so here are some grape hyacinths flowering right now in my garden. I love that shade of blue! (excuse the weeds!! haha)
I love Paper piecing and some even call it Foundation piecing. I dont care what its called as I know that it makes my points sooooo pointy and precise that I love it!! Keep practicing and you will be totally amazed at what you can do :)
ReplyDeleteI meant to say what you did is fantastic!!
ReplyDeleteI did one block paper piecing and after a lot of unsewing it came out great...but I'll stick with hand piecing LOL.

I'm not a paper piecing fan but I love what you posted. I'm going to try this one. Is it part of something else? Love the Morrell blocks. Since you visited me (http://quiltcrazy-janet.blogspot.com/), its my first look at your blog and I like what I see. I'll be back.
ReplyDeletePaper piecing is the way to go sometimes. Good job.
ReplyDeletepaper piecing, flip and sew, foundation - so many names for it -- I don't mind doing a little of it but it is not something I care for and why I started using that method to use up some scraps is beyond me I will have to force myself to get busy on it when I get back home to my sewing machine :)
