I made this block completely on my Featherweight at the Sew In on Saturday and here it is on the barn wall. I kept the colour scheme going but this block is more subdued. I did that because Elizabeth suggested a more muted colour palette in the directions but I am still on the fence a bit. I think it works in the whole scheme of the rest of the blocks and I will post a picture of all the blocks together tomorrow. I thought I had taken more of the bright green with me to the the Sew In. It is a bright green pin dot from Camille's Ruby line. All I had with me was a little scrap and I used every last little bit of it for those little green bits in the block. Silly me. Oh well. And this took me hours to make by the way. I am not sure if I am a pokey paper piecer or if this is normal. I even had most of the fabric pre-cut and it still took me forever!!!!!! I have to say that I am glad I only do one of these a month. They are really pretty but.. Just saying! Have a super day!
I'm a really, really slow paper piecer too. I choose to believe everyone is slow, not just me (but I don't really know that for certain...) :D
ReplyDeleteSo pretty!!! I love those colours.
ReplyDeleteAnd paper-piecing takes time. It's the nature of the beast. It's a great way to stay thrifty if you normally blaze through projects and fabric and lightning speed. lol. I tend to line up a bunch of paper-piecing projects to do at once so that I can be "efficient" with my time but it still takes forever. You are not alone!! :-)
