I like the results from paper piecing, but I don't do it often. So, whenever I do paper piece, I have to try to remember how it is done. I find it best if I make a test block, just to see if I really know what I am doing.
My twenty minutes today was closer to 90, as I tidied my sewing room a bit, ironed fabric, cut some strips to try the block and challenged my brain on how this is done.
Tada! I even think the colours work together, although I will leave it where I can look at it for a day or so, before I commit to the whole table runner. Just 23 more to go!
After I finished my project bag on Sunday, I was picking up the scraps and found myself playing with them and my machine. Heather, over at
Books and Quilts, inspired me to make this.
I am sending it to my orange grandkittens, in the East.

Great work on the paper piecing . I don't do it often, but I certainly like what you can do with it. now you're bitten by the fabric postcard bug. your orange cat is so cute. Way to go. Thanks for linking up for Needlework Tuesday.
ReplyDeleteI bet the test pattern works up wonderfully!
ReplyDeleteI love paper piecing, but I know what you mean about forgetting how it works. I have a postcard I use for folding paper piecing and it has notes on it like the stitch length to use and T.S.P. (trim, sew, press). Lovely work!
ReplyDeleteSuper cute post card. I always test my stuff too. It looks like a winner!
ReplyDeleteLove the ATC...really cute:)
ReplyDeletePretty colors.....I am the same with paper piecing...never comfortable at the beginning.
ReplyDeleteI love paper piecing as well... have a few patterns to try on my list, but i'm definitely nervous first time around as well!
ReplyDeleteLovely colours and what a cute postcard!
ReplyDeleteAdorable postcard!
ReplyDeleteI love the precision of paper piecing. I even like taking out the paper - because it means I'm done. I'm not fond of the piles of unsewn paper by the sewing machine because it takes me longer to sew the blocks before my vision and excitement fads. Your design is intriguing. I can't wait to see the finished piece and how the blocks will play together.
