Paper-pieced blocks are great fun! I need to do one or two after I've done an applique block just to feel confident about how this whole project will turn out.
"This is "M-4, Stepping Stones", an advanced-level paper-pieced block. This one has 49 pieces, I believe, which means lots of little pieces of paper to tear out!
love your block - I hate paper piecing though and hand piece or applique all of my blocks. Don't you just love this quilt! Karen http://karensquilting.com/blog/
a lot of work. you are just doing one block though right? 49 pieces. I think a finished quilt of mine is about 49 pieces in all. great stuff here as always.
Gorgeous block ~ your colors are perfect for this block! This will be one *FANTASTIC* DJ quilt! Yikes on the 49 pieces though, I guess as tiny as they must be, paper piecing is the safest way to go!

ReplyDeleteI love the block and the fabrics. I've got to get into paper piecing.
ReplyDeleteI've been "stuck" on E-13 for days. I'd better get going or you'll be done with the whole quilt before I get another block done. ;)
