I thought I would show you a lap quilt I did with one of Carol Doak's paper piece patterns. I had fun making this. The blocks are her's but the layout of the quilt was mine.

Hey Okie look at those perfect points...that is a beauty Thanks for sharing...that encourages me because I have about 10 blocks done to make a table runner and I wondered how I would assemble the thing...I absolutly love Carol Doak's patterns and her paper have you tried any of her paper?....it tears like a check just so smooth and it is so easy to sew over just really nice and not bad for the price...

Yes I have. I used it on this quilt. It's the only one I've used. I tried one that was transparent. Hated it.
|
Your quilt is beautiful Okie..i have been thinking of trying one of Carol Doaks patterns, so which pattern and or book did you get that pattern out of and was it hard as i am a newbie...
|
It's pattern #166 from her book 300 Paper-Pieced Quilt Blocks. It comes with a CD. I thought it was easy. At first it seems awkard but once you get a rhythm it goes pretty smooth. Her instructions are pretty easy to follow. Be sure to get the added quater inch ruler that is mentioned. It makes is alot easier. I don't see how you can do it accurately without it. I recommend this technique to anyone.

I have found them at Keepsake in New Hampshire. I would like to share my last pc. not backed or quilted yet. thinking about how to finish. It is called Wandering Stars and by Judy Niemeyer Quilting. My sister told me she is very difficult and I almost did give up, but once I got ahold of the technique it was easy. I am a self taught pcer' Hope you don't mind my sharing I love the colors Paper piecing ROCKS!!!! |
