Oh, so I have been so in a slump with the whole paper piecing thing lately. I've been late this last month getting my block for my Piece Bee With You bee. I just have not been able to draft a block for the life of me. I decided yesterday that the best way to attack this is to do some paper piecing following a pattern. So I decided I would have a stab at the
Sew Aloud Quilt Along that is happening right now! I was very very impressed with the design of this first block and am looking forward to more to follow--especially if they are as good as this one! Have a look at the group and check out all the blocks that have been made so far. I don't think I will be drafting any blocks for the contest (even if it is going to be judged by Suzuko Koseki). I don't think I have the head space for it--at least not right now.
In making this block, I kept seeing about a million things I could change or make better if I just went slower and fixed each and every bit. I did slow down a lot (for me) as it was to try and get it together as best I could. I need to learn more patience, persistence and determination...

I love your block and the fabrics you used. I love so many of the "Zipper" blocks that have been created in this quilt-a-long. Very inspiring in deed!
Looks great. I was intending to sew along with this, but just haven't had time (after another couple of paper piecing projects kind of side swiped me!)
Máš nádherné práce a blog veľmi rada ho navštevujem.Zoznámila som sa tu zo zemou o ktorej človek len počuje ale nevidí.Držím palce k ďalšej tvorbe.
My goodness. What great eye candy and inspiration. Your paper piecing - love the kettle - love it all. Do you make up your own patterns or can you direct me to where you obtained them from. Thanks for brightening up my day
