Hi everyone,

I've got two blocks for you this month - one for those who like paper piecing and one that uses hst.

For you paper piecers (these patterns intimidate me, but I admire them anyway) there is Random Orbit
http://www.quilterscache.com/R/RandomOrbitBlock.html

To practice piecing half-square triangles and a bit more, try out Housewife
http://www.quilterscache.com/H/HousewifeBlock.html

I'm having major back problems so have not been able to sit at my sewing machine long enough to whip these up. I'll have the pictures of mine ready at a later time. Meanwhile, I'm looking forward to seeing what all of you make of these blocks.

Happy quilting everyone.
Connie

soon!! :D

I think I'm gonna try the Random Orbit block. I know a lot of people don't like paper piecing, but I actually find it easier than a lot of other methods... I always mess up when I have to cut pieces a certain size. I'll have to look through my stash and decide which fabrics to use.

Hi,

I've finished my Housewife block, where do I post the picture of it? There doesn't seem to be a thread for pictures yet - should I start one?

Thanks!

I did the paper pieced Random Orbit pattern...

It's not perfect by all means, but from a distance I like it.
