Dragon Fruit BOM - Month 2!

 The month is quickly coming to a close, so that means another Month of the Dragon Fruit Block of the Month was ready to piece.    And here is Month 2 of the  Dragon Fruit  hosted by Fat Quarter Shop and I just love it!!  It is so fun that we get to sew the "big blocks" together as we go, it makes you feel like you are really seeing it come together!!!  

The Dragon Fruit Block of the Month will run from Oct 24 to June 25.   This month we made the following 16 Paper Pieced 4" blocks and then sewed them into the 9 patches above.  And after last months log cabins, these went together much quicker as they had far less pieces :)    And each months pieces are made with Tula Pinks gorgeous fabrics.  Now we have the "leaves" all finished in their pretty greens, teals, and citron colors ;)  

Month 2 is done and I can't wait for Month 3 to arrive!!! (which will be close to Christmas so we will see how I do on keeping up :)  If you are just joining in, I shared some thoughts and helpful hints on this awesome BOM here  .   And if you are new to Paper Piecing, I did a strep by step paper piecing tutorial (for a different block) over here that you might find helpful :)  I am still no expert, but I am enjoying it more and more with each paper piecing project I tackle.   

 

And that is it for Dragon Fruit Block of the Month - Month 2    Again, there is still time to join in the fun, but I wouldn't wait long, there is a lot of paper piecing each month!!  

I hope you all have a very Happy Quilting Day!!!
