Hello all! I recently got into paper piecing (with amma's help!) and made few animal blocks, which then turned into this lappy for a little boy I know in England. The blocks are 6" finished and the quilt is 42" square. It has to be quilted yet but my batting only just came in the post so it's hanging up to get the creases out. It's for Christmas so I'm WAY ahead for once! :shock: :lol: I'll put up a few of the blocks that I didn't show before as well. :wink: :D

three more blocks :D

last three - thanks for looking! :D

Great job, I would of never know you just started

That is cute. Great job.

Very Nice :D

adorable!!! Love each little block.

Very cute! I love your castle. I can see it in a princess quilt.

Thanks Lisa - here's the link to the castle block C:\Documents and Settings\H.Baas\Bureau\Kathryn\Patterns\Paper Piecing\Paper-Pieced Castle Quilt Block Pattern.mht :D

I just love it. I would say you are a pro!!
:D :D :D :D :D

You did a great job, I like it very much. You are definately a pro at it now.

Thank you for the site, I spent too much time on it.

Someday I will get enough courage to try paper piecing.

All I can say is WOW! I love your quilt! The castle is perfect and so are all the others! Isn't paper piecing fun? So many possiblities. :D

K you did a great job on the paper piecing. I haven't tried that yet. The quilt came out so cute. I am sure the little boy you are sending it to will love it. The colors are perfect!

Thanks all - I don't know about a pro though! :? :lol:

Penny - I've OBW'd the fish fabric you sent me, just have to quilt it and then I'll post a pic! :D

K, that is so very sweet!!!! You're doing such a great job, you put me to shame.

I'm still trying to finish my Dear Jane blocks. I was cutting the 1/4 seam on one of the blocks and ended up cutting through the whole #$%# thing!!! Bad words were emitted from this mouth!

Oh no not sweet little Ducksta using bad words? I don't believe it! :shock: :lol: But I know what you mean - I came close to doing that once or twice but just stopped myself in time. I've been looking at Suzi46's PP blocks and think I'll try something a little more sophisticated next. :D

K, what a great little boy quilt!
I love the castle too. thanks for posting the link, and thanks for the closeups.
I'm definitely gonna have to do a paper pieced quilt or project some time in the next...umm, in a bit :wink:

Love your little boy quilt K! Nice job on the paper piecing! I know he will love the quilt!

Thanks everyone! :D

I'm thinking I'll machine quilt it so it's more durable. Any ideas? Bearing in mind I'm a complete novice and my SITD is, well NOT in the ditch! :shock: :lol:

WOW!!!! You did a marvelous job on the PP'ing and I love this quilt!!! That little guy is going to love it!!!8)8)8) Thanks for sharing the pictures!!! :D :D :D

Thanks amma! :D I owe it all to you! 8)

That is great. And just right for a special little boy. Great job.

Hello - thought I'd show this here rather than start another thread - it's done!!! How good am I - a Christmas present in the bag and it's only just October! :shock:

I used Warm and Natural wadding and machine quilted through the sashing and diagonally across the blue gingham blocks then did some FMQ 'scribble' in the border. Backed with red gingham - looks like a table cloth in an Italian restaurant but it's bright and cheery! :D

Oh K....its fabulous!! I love it...AND I really like that little sunflower quilt in the background....whats the scoop on that???? Inquiring minds want to know... :lol:

Awww....that is soooo adorable!!!! It does not even vaguely resemble a table cloth :roll: he is going to love it :D :D :D

He'll love it...Its gorgeous! You've got me wanting to do some more pp'ing!

Awww, that is just sew cute!! You did a fantastic job! :D

I did that a few years ago - I copied the idea from a magazine and worked it out in Quilt Wizard, it's all squares and triangles with 3D flowers appliquéd on and French knots in the centre of the big one. Here's a pic. It was hand pieced and quilted BTW - in the days when I used to finish one project at a time! :shock: :lol:

edited to remove double post! :oops:

What a great job you did on this little guy's quilt. Did yo u enjoy the pp's?
