Paper piecing sampler -- show your progress here

[Noella D.]

Hi, I finished my six squares in a square for the paper piecing sampler with Alex. I used my stash, since I had some beautiful Kaffe Fassett fabrics, and others in there! Can’t wait to do more!

Love your fabric choices and centers! Also, enjoy hearing that you’re using David Sirota’s method. Although I am not working on this project, I am using it to piece my Trinket quilt and really prefer it over the traditional FPP method…so very similar to freezer paper method. I use my Bernina 10D foot and Sewline glue stick, and I’m very pleased with the accuracy on the Trinket’s little 4” blocks. I love not having to rip the paper off and the ability to reuse the vellum template.

Oh beautiful fabric choices and colors.

Linda P, Did you like using the glue, vellum and stitching next to the paper better than traditional FPP? I love, love, love your fabrics. Great idea to fussy cut the center square. HelenW

[Linda P.]

Yes I love this method with the glue and vellum. It is not messy at all and the vellum really holds up well. I did all six blocks with one printed sheet of vellum. The best part though, is not tearing out the paper. I have some arthritis in my hands so tearing out paper is not really an option for me.

I have tried doing this with water soluble paper and that also works well but you go through a lot of that pricey paper.

Using up my Halloween Stash-Having fun with this.

I raided my Kaffe stash to supplement the TQS bundle. Also swapped out the linen-like fabric for cotton- found almost exact matches from Kauffman. I plan to make larger quilt so needed more fabrics to work with.

[Linda L.]

Love your fabric additions

[Terry M.]

Love looking at everyone's fabric choices and results! I'm finally allowing myself to cut into my Kaffe stash!!! This quilt is exactly what I (didn't know) I was waiting for. Thank you!

[Linda L.]

Love your colors and fabrics

Show and Sharing my storm at sea block. Square in square in the corners are 1.5 inches finished. Could not do it without FPP
method. I am playing add on as I go. Decided to use Alex.s class to finish a fox wall hanging. HelenW

Well I did one pineapple block so far..got a little confused but made it thru it..not super scrappy but it’s my first..I may reverse the colors on the second one.

[Linda L.]

Very nice!

[Kaoru S.]

Not my usual color choice, but try to make bright and fun.

[Linda L.]

These are beautiful

[busmama13]

OMG! Talk about getting your head wrapped around it! When sewing a more involved block, no matter how tired you get, if your on a roll ....don't stop! I got finished with piece 8 and was exhausted so stopped for the day. The next day when I went back to it I made MULTIPLE mistakes. What a mess!!!! What should have taken an hour to finish took me 3-4 hours! Yikes. But now done and I love it.
