Just thought I’d stop in a quick share a block I made for last month’s Ringo Pie bee:
Like Kerry said, these blocks are deceivingly simple looking. It was fun though, I got to try paper piecing. I had only done paper piecing once with a string block via Film in the Fridge (just a bit simpler than the union jack, but a really good one to start with and get the hang of how it all works).
If you’re interesting in trying out this block a similar template and set of instructions is available here.
Glad you like it Erica!
ps, if you’re a fan of vintage and quilts and overall goodness, I highly suggest reading both Erica’s and Kerry’s blogs, they’re wonderfully inspiring.
Cute block – I could see that a whole quilt of these would be awesome!
That is gorgeous! And I agree with the first comment, an entire quilt would be simply gorgeous!!!
its so cute!!!
These are so beautiful.
Thankyou Anna for you lovely words! You pulled off that tricksy block beautifully.
Love it! I like the red and white so much.
Thank you for the link! I haven’t paper pieced anything for a while so this should be fun. You made great fabric choices!
I LOVE that block! How cute! Now if only I knew how to quilt…
Love the colors of this block!
I still haven’t tried paper piecing, one of these days. Love the color and fabric choices!
LOVE this. I’m a UK junkie.
I adore! Thanks for making such a beautiful block! I love the red and white dots 🙂
