And Sew On...

The second block in the And Sew On BOM is called You Little Ripper! Which is a very apt title for this foundation pieced block.*

I love all three of the fabrics used in this "block". I may just have to use them in a real block some time!


*It seems most people call this method Paper Piecing, but when I think of paper piecing I automatically picture English Paper Piecing with the little paper templates you stitch together; so I will refer to the block above (and all others like it) as being Foundation Pieced.

Some things to do for the year

So, I’ve joined up to do a whole lot of BOMs and QALs etc for 2013. I will introduce one at a time. Starting with...

And Sew On... a paper-pieced BOM at the Quiet Play blog. Nine paper-pieced blocks, relating to the sewing room. It began on January 1. I’ve done the first block:

It's called "Measure twice". (Which is good advice for all, not just quilters!)

I've just realised it's now February, so I'm off to find the next block in this series. Yay!
