17 - Starry Night


Today we move onto an intermediate paper pieced block.  We will be making Starry Night, a pattern that Faith recently posted on her blog Fresh Lemon Quilts.  Her instructions are clear and straight forward and I had no problems making this block.  That is a first!  Yea!  I am getting better.  :)

I really don't have anything else to add, so head on over to the Starry Night tutorial and start sewing!

Edited (5/15):  The Skill Builder Sampler will is available for purchase in book form!  It has been renamed "You Can Quilt!  Building Skills for Beginners" but covers the same skills with the easy, medium and challenging blocks and is a million times better than the original quilt along.  It is perfect for the beginning quilter or the experienced quilter who wants to branch out and learn new skills.  Find more information and order a signed copy in my Etsy shop or order on Amazon.

  1. I'm loving the paper piecing! I didn't think I would, but the accuracy and neatness is so pleasing! I do much better with this method than with traditional piecing (but that's probably mostly due to my impatience and carelessness). I can probably only slightly blame my lack of a 1/4 inch foot ;)

  2. I have now sussed the ripping out again. I am ripping out between paper and fabric, not between two layers of fabric. Much easier. Free tip of the week!
