Oh pooh Virtualbernie, I had just found this pattern the other day and thought I might try to pp a quilt with it! Got boring quick huh? Maybe I should find something else. I have pp'd the pineapple square quilt and that had alot of pieces and got boring quickly also, I was thinking that since this only had a few pieces per block it might not be too bad.

this one was done the 'paperless piecing' way. they don't give instructions.

BW I think you did a fabulous job! How like you not to pick an easy starter, or is it Ninnie's fault? LOL Don't let that poor, beautiful block be an orphan - give it a couple of borders and make it into a cushion or sumfink!

virtualbernie said: Do like I do, I pp until I get bored, put it down and start on something else! I'll probably be done by 2020! But I ain't givin up! i thought of that. i would have to decide on a pattern, make sure i have enough fabric, and set the whole project aside. i would definitely choose a 12" block for this. the fewer the better. it would be my in-between project. work on something real. take a break. do two blocks. go back to the real project. repeat. |
Hi,
Iron the seams open when a lot are going to come together. It will help a lot and a lot of spray starch. I have started ironing all mine open. Takes a little linger, but does so much better. Don't have to worry about which way to iron. Mine is always going the wrong way. Peg-TX Innova 18" |
Well I think it looks great and I love the color combination. You can see the difficulty with the center but I can't think of a way anyone could avoid it -- especially your first try! When I get one done I'm sure I'll have similar issues.

nice work
