Nygal and ppquilter so glad you'll be joining us. Practicing paper piecing is a great start! When it comes to the curved piecing that can be tricky but leaving the backing paper on, sewing a stay stitch line and snipping the curves really does make it way easier!

I have admired these quilts and would love to try it. I don't have a stash so I will have to go out and buy some fabrics. I am going to at least attempt one or two blocks. LOL - and see where it goes. Can't wait to see everyones work. Those blocks posted so far are gorgeous.

Welcome! You don't have to use batiks any fabric will work and NYB is beautiful in a scrappy look too. But if you need a good reason to shop :-).

OOOOO! love it. This is something I have been thinking about. I would love to join. Will see if I can squeese it in.

Thanks for the tip. I am excited...I think I will want to buy some bold fabrics to add to my stash for this.

If I get the double wedding ring pieced before your start date, I'll try to do this. Lots of projects in the works, so don't want to promise.

For anyone considering doing a NYB, TRY IT! I was very leery of this pattern group, but I really love them now that I have tried. My first NYB quilt was immediately grabbed by my DH. These tuts look really good.

These are the two I made most recently, one for my DDiL and one for my doc's nurse practicioner, both wonderful people. One of my next projects will be a NYB purse.

The NYB is near the top of my bucket list, will have to see if I can make time to join in on this one, I love PPing and Ula's patterns. Have to figure out what fabrics I will use, B&W, batiks, Christmas ... decisions, decisions, decisions. Sigh.

I would love to join in on this. But I am confused about the fabric selection. Does anyone have an idea of how much yardage, and how many different colors I'd need to gather? Is there 1 fabric that would be more prominent where I would need more of? Thanks.....

[QUOTE=kristen0112;5490892]Renea, so glad you're joining us! To fun that your next thing on your bucket list is DWR because I am working on correcting a pattern for a variation of DWR call Flower ring and when this quilt along is finished was thinking about hosting that as a quilt along! I tried making it from an old book but it wasn't test before publication so the block came out wonky.

I would love to hear more about this, but later.....I have unfinished projects. One is my Model T quilt i need to finish quilting and bind before Sept 12th. First I need to put my canner away.
