My latest attempt at Paper Piecing



Well I think I'm finally getting the hang of Paper Piecing.....YAY. The above block is called Mosaic Quilt and can be found here under free blocks and then select Blocks for quilts I. I had heaps of fun doing this one. I traced the block onto thin sew in interfacing.....only boo boo I made was to trim the outside to 1/4" but I should have made the borders a bit wider, such as 1/2" to allow for attaching sashing or joining to another block....OOOPS! Oh well, at least I got the hang of the centre bit. I know the purple polka dot looks like I missed a little on the bottom right corner, but trust me, I didn't, it's the edge of the next row of spots!

  2. Nice block Naomi, reminds me of a crazy quilt. It does seem to take a while to get your head around paper piecing, but once you do there will be no stopping you.

  6. It looks fantastic! The bottom of the polka dot block doesn't look like it's missing. Paper piecing is a mystery to me!
