Vintage Sunburst QAL - Month 8

 It's Month 8 of the  Vintage Sunburst Quilt Along hosted by Fat Quarter Shop and I can not say how happy I am that I switched to chain piecing - paper piecing !!      It is just so much more productive for me ;)  So here is this month's share for the Vintage Sunburst Quilt  





I finished up all of the "paper part" of the paper piecing this month with  the 12" Paper Piecing Pads blocks parts.   I am using the cool tones of the Blossom Basics for these larger blocks with the Warm Tones in the corners to make the secondary diamonds when the blocks are sewn together.   


 Next month my plan is to  sew these units into blocks .   And then in October I will be making the quilt top and November quilting it!!  And it will be all finished in time for Christmas ;)  The free pattern for this Quilt Along can be found right here ;) 


  And now that I have cut all of the "scraps" from the paper piecing, I am getting back to my  leaders and enders .   This is all next to my sewing machine and each time I finish some stitching I add another 2 of these to be stitched.   It is going to grow in no time at all, which is good because I am thinking about piecing this  into the backing of the quilt :)  

So do you want to work on your paper piecing skills as well??  Pop over the the Vintage Sunburst Quilt Along page to get all of the details and join me in some paper piecing fun :)
