So as I have mentioned I started quilting just last September by taking a class and everytime I think I will not like a process I find out I LOVE it.


I did not want to do applique but the class I took required we do some - I did and LOVED the result.

I thought I did not want to EVER do hand work - and now I have been loving piecing some english paper piecing hexagons while I watch TV to use up some scraps! They are tiny and will take forever to do a quilt but I enjoy doing them. - who'd a thunk it!

While looking for Patterns for those little hexagons I stumbled upon the paper piecing or foundation piecing and I found some very cool Harry Potter patterns for free that I LOVED. One of my sisters is a HUGE Potter fan - more than her kids - and I have been collecting fabric for a Harry Potter quilt for her but the Licenced fabric is sooooooo expensive and I still had no clue what I would Piece for her - I loved these - I tryed it out this past weekend and I am soooooooooooo Hooked!! I LOVE this - took a bit for me to remember to have the piece big enough but here are the two I finished and one that is 3/4's done with a tiny boo boo!

The partial one...

These are the english paper piecing ones I have been experimenting with...

Great job. Love them all.

Great work. That Harry Potter quilt is goig to look fabulous. Are you sure you are only a beginner.

Very nice and the Harry Poter quilt I can't wait to see.

Oooh, i love your hexagon blocks! :)

Good job. Beautiful work. Don't you just love taking classes? I often joke that I waited until all the quilters in the family had passed. Then I became interested and had to pay someone to teach me. :? :!: :?

Lovely work especially the english paper piecing.

I'm like you...every time I learn something new...the whole world opens up!! I started to self teach in 06 and I find I love it more everyday. I'm such an outdoors type person that I still can't believe that I am hooked so badly on quilting. I've always HATED sewing..now..its a blast!

Your on a roll........... L@@KING G@@D

I can tell you're having a blast! Make more!

Oh my dear your are really hooked, keep up the good work. These examples are wonderful.

What nice work! You are doing wonderfully!

you are turning into a fantastic quilter!

Sheila--You are on a roll. I think you are doing an awesome job on the paper piecing. Don't you just love it?? Your Harry Potter quilt is going to be fantastic.

You are doing a great job on the English paper piecing too-a technique I have not tried yet. Looks like you have mastered it too!

You do not look like a beginner quilter to me :D

Newest ones sewed this past weekend
I am continuing the Harry Potter quilt...
They are a lot of fun - but kind of finicky
The "HOWELR" (looks like a mouth)
took me three hours but I am sure I will get
faster in time - I am stilll really new to all this

You are very good!

You're doing terrific!

Wow those look fantastic! I really need to go to a class, I've been winging it! Keep up the great work!

Wow, you are doing a great job! I can't wait to see the whole Harry Potter quilt. :lol:

Wow Great job.
