This weekend I was able to catch up on my virtual quilting bee blocks (Pieced Together and twelve square), for now.
First up, I tried paper piecing for Sara. I love the outcome, but it took me a try or two to get it right. Once I got started, I enjoyed it, but then cursed it as I was trying to get the paper off the back. I do like the finished product very much.
Stephanie is making an alphabet quilt. She sent us all an alphabet piece along with pink and green fabrics. I think this till turn out to be a darling quilt. Stupid me, I forgot to trim off that pink line around the alphabet. Maybe I can add some embroidery to hide it? Should I re-make it? Stephanie, what do you think? She said we could embroider the letter if we'd like. Unless you're in a big hurry, Stephanie, maybe I will.
Last but not least, here is Tracy's block. I love how this came out! Tracy requested grey with pops of color and some texture. This block evolved out of the process. I started with the grey textured piece, then built the rest around it. I happened to have a gray fabric in my scrap pile, that one with the lines on it, which I think went really well with what was going on.
These are so much fun, I can't wait to see what arrives in my mailbox for April.
