So THATS what you do!!! I was thinking to get up hear and ask what yall do because I struggle with getting the fabric to STAY PUT. I have been doing a sewing tack to keep it stay, but of course I have to tear around it.
QNS--what beauties! When did you make these? Love the Delectable Mountains especially. gq2--these colors are going to be beautiful in your blocks! |
I'm envious of all you that are already doing your blocks. Can't wait to see them.

Anael, the flowers are pre-printed not embroidery pattern, sorry. It's actually from several years ago so the fabric is no longer available. Dh declares it my best quilt ever, and it lays on my bed. The local QS here featured the fabric and Janet helped me to match fabric to the flowers. Then she machine quilted it for me. The delectable mt pattern was done in Texas, three of them, for our children's Christmas present from us. We started in Oct and finished three by Dec 6th. Middle child lived in Denver, Co., so her's reflected [ATTACH=CONFIG]432569[/ATTACH] the mountain sunlight moving around the mountain, light on two sides, dark on the other two sides. I say 'we' 'cause dh helped with them to get them done on time. Do not have pictures of third one that was done in red/white.

Am I allowed to make a slight modification in the block? I'm thinking of adding one very small line near the outside edge of block #1. Thanks.
I modified the color scheme in two of mine. I'm also not putting the side pieces on, but leaving them as hexies and making each hexie into a place mat. Do what you want! |
LOVE this one NinaSue!!! LOVE LOVE :D

DD - I just smear a strip of Elmers School Glue Stick on the first piece to keep it in place. It pulls off easily when you take all the paper off!
QNS - those quilts are wonderful. I agree, I just love the one with the flowers! Beautiful!!! |
QNS what beautiful quilt, love all of them
Another tip for Paper Piecing (and not everyone will agree) I backstitch at the start and end of every seam, why, cause I was getting frustrated with my seams coming apart when I took the paper off. And it is a pain in the petootie to hand stitch seams down after the block is finished:thumbdown:. Problem solved More beautiful fabrics, wish I could show my design wall with my finished Spike blocks but I have to have patience and share next week.. |
