Thanks SulaBug...I think, now that some time has passed, I would like to try this technique again. I can see where this is really good for matching seams. Another thing I noticed--I hate triangles. I have a mental block about them. If I cut my scraps into squares or rectangles, PP'ing would work much better for me.

Helen T. thanks for your kind words. You are right--there is no better way to learn than simply by doing. PP is interesting. I don't think I'd like to do a whole quilt with this block, but I look forward to my next PP project.

Thanks Jeanine, it was really fun--now that it's over! ;-)

Sorry, but I just don't enjoy paper piecing that much, so I just did a sunny block. All the nice posted blocks are beautiful though. I have alot going on right now, so needed a simple block.

VickiM: I love your block! It is sunny and in the spirit of summer. Very creative.

Since I got to make my August block early, I had the urge to start putting my blocks together. Since I decided I wanted a square quilt, I am adding a center block which have wreaths for each season.

VickiM...........You did a fantastic job making your bright, sunny & warm quilt block for the month of August 2012. It is perfectly okay that you are not comfortable with PP'ing & chose your own pattern. We just want eveyone to feel good about their blocks & have a quilt they will be proud of at the end of the year. GOOD JOB!! :D Thank you for sharing with all of us here on the quilting board.
:D :D :D :D

Jeanine.............What a great idea adding the extra blocks to make your quilt square, by the end of the year. Your Seasonal Wreath blocks are going to add so much to your quilt. All of your blocks have turned out awesome. We appreciate you sharing a group photo of all of them together. Such inspiration!! :D Thank you so much for sharing with all of us.
:D :D :D :D

Vicki, Love your block. After doing 1 block (and I love PP), and only half finishing another (I'm doing 3 of these for grands) I wish I'd changed course just for the time factor.

Jeanine, All your blocks are pretty. I haven't thought that far ahead :D

Hi Mimi............I am just checking in with you today, to see how your three blocks for your grands are coming along for the month of August!! :D Before you know it, it will be time to post the September BOM for 2012. I know everyone is going to love the choice, as it is so pretty & much quicker to make than this one was. Keep on making your blocks & be sure to share pictures, as you get them done!! I just had to add a little teaser clue for everyone!! Hope everyone is having a Great Day.
