Continued in my color scheme of red, white, and blue, this design uses the English paper piecing technique, something I've not tried before. Would I do more of this type of piecing? Only if I were travelling and didn't have a sewing machine around!
But it was good to learn a new skill, which is what the Growing Up QAL is all about. If you want to try new sewing skills, join in!
Have a great weekend!
Hi Susan, your block looks great! Mine was a bit of a mess...
ReplyDeleteIt is a wonderful traveling project, but I agree that the machine work is better when you have it available. Your work looks perfect.
ReplyDeleteGreat job! I am looking forward to seeing all of your blocks in a quilt.
ReplyDeleteEPP is indeed perfect for travelling or when you know that you have to wait for long lines and appointments :) I prefer smaller templates than the one used in this first block, but bigger shapes fill the space much quicker, which has its advantages :) Thanks for sharing!!
ReplyDeleteHi Susan,
ReplyDeleteThis block is beautiful - you did a fabulous job on this! This looks really cool and hard to make. Good for you for tackling a learning/growing project. I can't wait to see where this goes. ~smile~ Roseanne
