The progress is slow on this quilt. I have been tearing out some of the paper after I get sections sewn together. I need to get the pieced border started but I haven't even chosen the fabrics yet. The art quilters group is coming next week so I will start cleaning the basement too. This quilt needs to be off the wall by then so I'll have to do a few blocks a day.
I'm lovin this quilt, the shades are wonderful. I guess you used a big needle and tiny stitches for you pping. I used to pp all the time and had loads of trouble with it until I discovered the secret. Can't wait to see this one together it's outstanding!
It is looking great, Wanda! I know that whichever fabrics you choose will compliment the body of the quilt well. Looking forward to seeing more progress!
This quilt is looking like it's going to be stunning, a real eye-catcher. I also hated picking out the papers on the back, until I discovered the way to do paper piecing without sewing the paper down, now it's a breeze - on most patterns that is!
Love the strength and the movement of this quilt. I hate paper piecing, but I might have to do one of these myself. Are the papers for this design still available?
