Hope the move went well. Welcome back!

Good to hear from you, Teen. Been thinking about you.

Teen 06-12-2019 06:22 PM

Thank you! I missed you peeps! The move went smoothly...new home construction starts next week. Trying to get organized in workshop/RV but I took delivery of a new washer/dryer today so all is good! Lol.. We are trying to decide where to set up my sewing nook. I'm eager to get back into sewing soon....I've got 2 Kingwell patterns on the list that are ready to go..

Yeahhhhhhhhhhh you're back!! Great to hear everything went well!
I thought taking delivery of a LA would be good but you're satisfied with a washer and dryer LOL
Sooooooo what will your next Kingwell patterns be? GW? And?

Teen 06-13-2019 02:36 PM

Lol...a LA when house built. When that is set up, I don't want to move it. Lol... So....GW or Bring Me Flowers..not sure yet. I have other patterns, too, on my list that are kitted up and ready. So many choices... I'm just going to grab one and go for it.

I love the Bring me Flowers quilt but it's all curved piecing and that's holding me back.

When your LA is set up I'm going to move in with you LOL

I've been working on My Small World this week. Here are my blocks so far.[ATTACH=CONFIG]613855[/ATTACH]

Now I'm working on the triangle blocks - some are roofs, some are skinny hourglasses, etc. I am having an awful time getting them to measure 2.5" unfinished without chopping off corners when sewn. I'm now thinking of paper piecing them. Does anyone have any suggestions before I draft a paper pieced block? Did any of you use templates, and if so which? My Marti Michell ones don't appear to be the right angle.

I like your blocks!!
I use the templates from the book. Still it's hard to get them to size. Most of the time you have to use a scant 1/4" seam and sometimes 1/4".....

Thanks, Anael. I ended up appliqueing them, which wasn't that bad. If I had to do more, I think I would paper piece.

Very pretty, Mkotch.... I'm loving the background fabrics you are selecting...
