Rose Star Blocks
I've got ten of these done, now. I pieced all of the blocks I cut in May, so now it's back to the Olfa mat to prepare some more. I cut pieces for another two blocks this week. If you want to make some of your own. Claire's got a great English paper piecing tutorial at selfsewn.
Summer Sampler Series Blocks
These are the Summer Sampler Series blocks I made to swap and donate to the Austin Modern Quilt Guild. The goal was black and white blocks with a pop of color. This is the end of the swap, though, so you won't see any more in this color scheme.Flower Garden Path |

I got back to making some of these this week. These two blocks are all Terrain, and I like them even more than the other blocks I've made mixing Terrain with other fabrics. I think I'll use my original blocks for something else and just do a set in Terrain. There's a lot of changing plans midstream around here ;-)
I can't wait to see everyone's WIP updates! I'm linking up with Freshly Pieced, Sew Much Ado, Whatever Goes Wednesday, and Rae Gun Rambling.
soooo beautiful - or is that sew beautiful?!
ReplyDeleteI would love to try a similar thing in paper.
I made a series of paper mandalas for my bedroom years ago, and you've inspired me to have another go!

Lovely! It's amazing how different each of your Rose Star blocks looks. And I love love the colour scheme Summer Sampler Series. The turquoise is set off beautifully by the whit, grey, and black.
