We have been making some pretty fun blocks in the Love circle lately.
I'm not sure when I last posted about the group, but last month, we made house blocks for Natalie.
In a paper-piecing mood, I first made this block. Whoa. Let me tell you, it is not for the faint of heart. But it was fun, and I am thrilled with how it turned out! I used Charise's Cozy Chalet pattern from Fat Quarterly Issue 8.
I also made this block, using Elizabeth Hartman's Neighborhood block, from her second book.
I really love that tuba player fussy cut, from a Paper Sparrow 2012 tea towel.
This month, we used Rachel's tutorial for a paper-pieced striped block.
I think both quilts will be amazing!
I'm glad I finished up that Starry Quilt, because it's my month again in October! I'm planning to ask for improv curvy blocks using Penny's happy tutorial. I made a few practice blocks last night, and I'm excited to make more.
It's been awhile since I've made curvy things (my favorite was this one for Nicke.)
awesome! that paper-pieced house is amazeballs.

I love my pillow so much! And these blocks are fabulous!!! Love!
ReplyDeleteLove the house blocks! That first one is AMAZING!!!
ReplyDeleteThe first block reminds me of the big city girl quilt along where I thought I could add a Swedish house but until didn't get around to making it. Love the look.
