Home Town Holiday Samper Quilt Along - Week 10

It's Week 10 of the Home Town Holiday Sampler Quilt Along hosted by Fat Quarter Shop and this week I got to make M for Melissa ;)   And, we all know, M, N, O, P is the most fun part to sing in the Alphabet song!!  It's a good week of letters ;)  

This weeks Sweetwater Christmas low volume prints are so cute.  I love the polka dots in the M.   (I might have saved them just for that letter ;)   And I love how everything just pops on the POParazzi Grey Background.  I really can't wait to start sewing this quilt together.  Only 10 more letters to go!!! 

And that is it for Week 10 of of the Home Town Holiday Sampler Quilt Along!!!   You can join in the fun with Lori Holt's  Home Town Holiday Sampler Book!   You can see the Quilt Along schedule here but make it at your own pace.   

See ya next week with more Home Town Holiday Sampler goodness!!  And it is going to be hard for me not to finish off the alphabet and start putting this all together.  Time to start remining myself,  one week at a time Melissa ;) 

Vintage Sunburst Quilt!!!

Well, it's been almost a year of the Vintage Sunburst Quilt Along hosted by Fat Quarter Shop and today I am so very excited to share my finished Vintage Sunburst Quilt ;)   And here it is ;)  And can I just say . . .  I love, love, love it!!! 

This quilt was made using the  6" and 12" Vintage Sunburst Paper Piecing Pads and using Blossom Basics divided into Warm Tones and Cool Tones for the blocks and lots of assorted White on White scraps.   I have to say, some of the first Sunburst blocks were a little wonky in the center, but I got better and better and lining everything up as I went along.   

And didn't it just turn out so amazing!!!! This was a huge project for me that really pushed my paper piecing skills, but I am so glad I did it, because now, paper piecing doesn't intimidate me anymore.  Yippee!!!  Hence the Dragon Fruit BOM so I still have a monthly Paper Piecing project to work on :)

When it came time to quilt mine, I decided on an overall swirl.  I wanted to keep it pretty dense so that I could stitch down those bulky centers.   And let me tell you, some of them were super bulky, I had to stitch slow and steady to get over them ;)  

And my most favorite part of this quilt, is actually on the back!!!  Remember how I was taking all of the paper piecing scraps and improv sewing them together . . . Well, this is it ;)   I was blown away with how many scraps were created with this paper piecing project!!!  That square is probably a good 25" x 25".   Just wow, talk about an ode to the Paper Piecing Process.  And ya know, it just makes me smile :)  

And that is it for the Vintage Sunburst Quilt Along !!   Wow, what a fun project this turned out to be.  I am so glad I joined in, especially as I can now admit, I was super scared to start :)  

So how about you . . . ready to tackle something outside of your "quilting comfort zone"??  I tell you what, it is sure great when you finish it :)

Thanks for popping in and sharing this super special finish with me ;)  I hope you all have a very Happy Quilting Day!!
