I took a workshop with Edie McGinnis at the end of July. This is my first paper-pieced quilt. It is 42" square. You need to look at the quilting from a galloping horse, but I love it.

That is so beautiful. matches your toes ;-)

Beautiful. PP is on my to-do list. Thanks for the inspiration.

Glad you noticed. haha

Great Job! Looks really good and the colors are wonderful!

It's beautiful and I love your colors. The FMQ looks pretty darn good to me, at least the feathers that I can see in the middle star.

Oh my gosh, that is so pretty! Love your fabrics and colors.

It's beautiful. I was working on a pp project, but ran out of the main color, so now I have to start over.

I love the colors. You did a great job.

Great job! Is that pattern for sales somewhere?

I have contact info for Edie McGinnis. PM me if you want it.

Gorgeous!

Ohhh, this quilt is so beautiful. I have never tried PP.

Lovely quilt! You did a great job!

Beautiful quilt

Absolutely luscious!!!

Beautiful quilt!

You did a great job! Beautiful colors!

Ditto to both! LOL

This was my first attempt and I'm glad I did it with an instructor leading the workshop. She stood by me and said "put this here". After a while, it clicked and I love it. The points come out perfect. She gave many helpful hints, but here are 2. Sew with a very short stitch (that makes tearing the paper away go much easier). The second hint was to set your machine to a basting stitch and stitch 3 or 4 stitches across the meeting points when you sew 2 blocks together. That way you can turn the piece and see if you have the intersections the way you want them. If not, you only have to pull out 3 or 4 big stitches instead of 150 VERY TINY stitches. Saved me lots of time with the ripper.

OH WOW - very nice.

Oooh. That is beautiful!

Very beautiful and thanks for sharing the hints. They will come in handy.

GORGEOUS!

Gorgeous, Gorgeous!!!

Beautiful! I love the colors!

Yep, I agree, it sure is pretty! So are the toes :lol:

Very pretty. I love your colors together.

Stunning. And I am not riding a horse. Beautiful!

It's beautiful! Funny I have that block pattern sitting on my desk and was just looking at it before I logged on and saw yours. Know I think even more that I need to make it.
Love those toes too LOL.
