[QUOTE=Kallie,Are you able to downsize your pictures in Paint? If you downsize to about 800 pixels, save on your desktop, you should be able to upload the pics to the board.[/QUOTE]
TymeToShine- I totally never thought of that! How brilliant. I will have to try it for week 4's blocks. Thank You!!! |

And Katybob, I bought a 50 yard bolt of Southern Belle muslin from Joann's online (coupon of course) thinking I'd use the extra for other projects..........well I might want to wait for those other projects. Ha Ha!!! I've done several blocks twice. I love everyones different fabric.

Here are my week 3. A1 and A5 are PP, B1 I used the circle tutorial GV09 provided.
I appreciate all the comments and helps during this. It's helpful to me. Maybe I'll be lucky and post week 4 before it's week 5. :) |

The latest. I am going to redraft A1 as suggested because I think it looks perkier. Couldn't do B2 because I need more red fabric. I will probably re-do the purple block. The pattern doesn't stand out because of all the white in the fabric. I've had to do this with more than one block, you think I'd learn. Once a block stands out in a bad way I have to re-do it; I already have a pile of outcasts.
Love seeing all the blocks. What talented people on this board! |

okay and here's week 4 - now I'm caught up.
I have GOT to learn paper piecing! While I can normally teach myself most things, learning paper piecing by book continues to escape me. I keep waiting for our LQS to offer a class in it. [ATTACH=CONFIG]309190[/ATTACH] |
The first two posts by Patrice in the QB Help Center thread has some really helpful tips for sizing and posting pictures. I'd have been stumped without them.
SheriR, your fabric is just gorgeous. Is B1 black or navy? I'm hoping GV09's circle instructions will work as well for melons. So far, mine really stink. |

Hello again.
I've been plugging away at my blocks... A little info on EPP (English Paper Piecing) : Basically, I print out the block, cut out individual pieces and baste the fabric to these pieces. Then they are whip-stitched together. [ATTACH=CONFIG]309104[/ATTACH] the back of a-6 I use regular Guttermann thread - and a size 12 between needle (I need the smallest needle so I only pick up a few threads on the whip stitching) Traditionally, EPP is used on convex shapes with straight edges (no indents) like hexagons and diamonds. This is the first time I've tried with curves. The concave curves need to be clipped - but it has worked so far... [ATTACH=CONFIG]309109[/ATTACH].[ATTACH=CONFIG]309110[/ATTACH] the backs of b-3 and b-1 The blocks are 6cm - so I think the centre blocks will finish about 36 inches. [ATTACH=CONFIG]309120[/ATTACH] a-6 [ATTACH=CONFIG]309121[/ATTACH] a-8 [ATTACH=CONFIG]309122[/ATTACH] b-4 [ATTACH=CONFIG]309123[/ATTACH] c-1 [ATTACH=CONFIG]309124[/ATTACH] b-13 [ATTACH=CONFIG]309125[/ATTACH] c-3 I believe that the original b-13 was made with a single fussy-cut square - so I decided to re-design it since every EPP needs some hexagons :p |
Everyone's work looks amazing :)
