My Carol Doak Paper Pieced Oversize King
 
2 Attachment(s)
I asked my daughter to teach me paper piecing. I just dived right in! Picked a bunch of patterns from Carol's "300 Paper-Pieced Quilt Blocks." Picked fabric colors and was off to the races. The blocks turned out so cute that my daughter decided it should be an over-sized King, on the off chance she could end up buying it! So came up with needed border size and threw in HST strip to the border! I think it turned out bright and flashy! Now she has to throw it on her Avante and quilt it! heehee....or maybe she'll teach me that too!

THAT came out absolutely stunning. Love that you chose black sashing to make the colors pop.

Gorgeous quilt. Love Carol Doaks patterns.

It is beautiful! Great job and it is so wonderful to have a daughter to share in your quilting endeavors.

toverly 06-30-2015 05:08 AM

Beautiful! I love Carol Doaks way of PP. After using a few others methods, I love the way she tells you a rectangle to cut so I can precut the fabrics into kits on days I don't feel like sewing. That black sashing makes the quilt pop. Good choice.

soozieQ 06-30-2015 05:23 AM

Thats gorgeous! I love paperpiecing too.Keep going!

Annz 06-30-2015 06:01 AM

That is really beautiful. I still haven't done paper piecing...one of these days maybe!

Kitsie 06-30-2015 07:33 AM

Try the "fold the paper and sew along the fold" method that you never have to sew through the paper! Here's the link:
