paper piecing extravaganza: ringo pie catchup

Well, I had fallen dangerously behind in Ringo Pie this round.  I had kept up pretty well on the first round, but time just flies by this round.  Here’s my next 3 blocks that I owed Ayumi, Amber, Melinda, and Leila.  I was super happy to finish them up and hope to be fully caught up with Tamiko and then Charise‘s blocks this weekend!

So first up was a Market theme for Ayumi.  I desperately wanted to make her something super cool, afterall, she’s the queen of paper piecing (as well as everyone else in the group!).  So I had sketched out so many ideas and never felt like any of them fit quite right.  I ended up picking a lovely little Strawberry Sew-Ichigo block designed by Kerry and Penny.  I knew that Ayumi would like it because we’re all in Ringo Pie together.  I might sneak in a little surprise too, maybe some other kind of fun little block.  Ayumi has been a really good friend to me and always so encouraging. This block uses some lovely Umbrella Prints and Lizzy House Outfoxed.

Amber‘s theme was anything sewing related.  Phew, I had to think of this one way too long.  Eventually I found Amy (During Quiet Time)’s Sewing Machine Pattern and hopped to it.  This was such a fun block to make and pretty quick too.  I pulled out some precious gifted fabrics ad got to piecing.

And Leila was the most recent one I finished up.  She requested a 6″ block with something you consider a favorite!  I made her a Latte-to-go block (another lovely Sew-Ichigo design).

I love mochas and it’s the one treat that I can look forward to when I need a little pick me up.  I included some of my favorite Heather Ross Mendocino mermaids, Jay McCarroll Habitat, and Lizzy House.  They all look so pretty together.

Lastly was a guitar block for Melinda.  I’m so happy to make a block for her!  I’ve gotten to meet up with Melinda a couple times to hang out before she moved recently.

She’s such a sweet person and a master paper piecer as well!  I used Christina (The Sometimes Crafter)’s Ukulele Pattern.  Another fun one, I enjoyed throwing in some of my Dear Stella scraps in there and well as a super tiny piece of liberty of london just to mix it up!

Phew, hope you’re still with me, that’s it! Hope to share my other finishes next week!  Have a great weekend, the sun is shining today! ♥

ps, if you’re new to paper piecing, there’s a great video tutorial from Connecting Threads here.

    Thanks for the link and for sharing your awesome work!! I am doing Riley Blake’s Mystery Blocks and this month is a fabric pieced heart. I have never quilted before let alone fabric pieced *eek* so I will definitely check out the link.

    I sew mainly bags so this is all new to me. Any tips for beginner piecer’s/quilters?
