I managed to finish this block on a road trip this weekend. English paper piecing is the perfect hand sewing project for the car! It wasn't all sunshine on this trip. We did run into some rain, but we saw some rainbows, too, so no complaints.
I love this print with the chair. It's from Daisy Cottage by Lori Holt of Bee in my Bonnet for Riley Blake. Fussy cutting can really enhance the structure of these blocks, but it's also fun to feature a quirky print in the middle.

If you need some summer sewing for the road, check out Clare's tutorial for English paper piecing on her blog, selfsewn.

This looks great. Funny thing, when I look at the chair I see like and alien or octopus covering it's eyes like, OH NO!!! lol
