Thread: Quilts for Rosie - Weekly Paper Pieced Sampler Quilt Along

I thought your block looked great . . . . . then I read where it is a 4" and I looked again and it is fantastic! I still say we are all looking to close when we are working on the blocks-then when we put the blocks together and we look at the whole they are gorgeous!

I completely agree with you, Judith.

This block was a bit of challenge, so I wanted to feel it out. I am sticking to Aunt Gracie fabrics and am using what I have, so I am limited. I like the block anyway. I am showing the paper piecing pattern pieces and then the block. After I did all the sections, the block went together nicely.

Since I am printing these out of Block Base, I don't know if your pattern is different from the one in Block Base, is it?

Sandi, I love how your 1941 square came out with the fussy cutting!

Rosy, the block is so interesting with all of the fabrics. The blocks I am doing are with charm squares so I have to mix fabrics in my blocks, too. They look so different than the majority of the girls blocks, but, I think they have a 'charm' of their own!

Purl, that dark background make the blocks really pop, stunning...

Love your blocks, Purl. Great color choices, and like Rosey said, the black makes them pop.
I remove my paper after I complete each block so I can hang them on my design wall. This way I can see what colors I'm lacking (doing a scrappy version) and also gives me a sense of accomplishment when I look at them LOL.
