Vintage Sunburst QAL - Month 2

It's Month 2 of the  Vintage Sunburst Quilt Along hosted by Fat Quarter Shop and I have 4 more blocks to share for this month.  I just love how happy and bright they are!!!  

Here are my 2 blocks made with the  8" Vintage Sunburst Paper Piecing pads and  Blossom Basics, in all of the warm tones :)    The first block in this one was a little wobbly in the center.  When I was piecing the final row together, my stitches started to come undone so I just tried to keep it together.   I thought about taking it out, but decided I am okay with it :)  I figure showing my ups and downs with paper piecing in this project is good and hopefully it will show how I get "better" with more practice ;)  

And here are my 12" Paper Piecing Pads and the  Blossom Basics, in cool tones :)  And I am super proud of these centers (of course, it is a little easier with the larger pieces).  I think they came together really well and one block the center point is almost perfect.   Happy Making!!!!   I shared some helpful hints that I have found while making this post in my Month 1 post that you can find here ;)   

 

  The quilt will finish at 64" x 88" so it will be a nice large throw size when complete.   The free pattern for this Quilt Along can be found right here ;)  And I am saving all of my paper piecing scraps and using them as my leaders and enders to make improv blocks.  Then there were 2, So fun :) 

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

In Between

 Today is one of those "keeping it real" posts :)   Last week I got to teach at the Cedar Chest Quilt Retreat, which is held in my home town of Cedar City, Utah.   This week, I get to head to Bryce Canyon and teach at the Quilty Friends quilt retreat.   And this is what it looks like In-Between the two ;)  

That is my batting order I need to put away, my trunk show on top of the pool table, but you notice, I left a handy isle to still make it to the sewing room.   And on the right is everything I take to teach needing to be unpacked and repacked for tomorrow ;)  

And of course, I totally forgot to take pictures at the Cedar Quilt Retreat.   When I am teaching in Cedar, I literally run from class back to home and forget all the fun retreating stuff in between.  I will try to remember to take more pictures this week of teaching :)

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

January Sew Sampler Box!!

Wow, January has come and almost gone ;)  What a whirlwind this month has been so far, but oh so much crazy fun!!! And with the end of the month comes a new Sew Sampler Box as well!!     The theme for this month is Hats off to You! and it is just such a cute box filled with Lori Holt goodness :) 

How adorable is that Haberdashery Quilt Pattern!!!!   So can't wait to make this!!!   And it will be just delightful in the new Mercantile fabrics by Lori Holt.   Her fabrics always have such a vintage charm to them.   And I just love the saturated colors, so fun ;) 

And the notions for this month are some more Bee in my Bonnet goodness!! This Busy Bee Thread Cutter will be great to go on my travel sewing machine!!   And the Bee Binding Holder will keep bindings nice and straight.   And I love this new Quilty Tools 1/4" Plus Ruler from Riley Blake.  It really is great for everyday use.   And yes, I an always use more Schmetz Needles ;) 

And just a note, there are currently some openings for Sew Sampler boxes, so no need to wait;)  

And that is January Sew Sampler Box.  I am so looking forward to February, it is going to be a fun month of lots of projects.

Happy Quilting!!!
