Two of the BOM projects I'm working on saw progress yesterday.
Actually the Riley Blake Design (RBD) challenge is a Block of the Week, with the last week of each month designated as a catch up week. This week's block is #4, called Twist by Fran Gulick. This was a quick sew.
Can't say the same thing about the other Block of the Month - as it's paper pieced. Circle of Friends by Carol Doak isn't exactly quick to sew. But the blocks have each been fairly easy because of the way she has them broken down. Each 12" finished block has 8 "units" - 4 of each half of a square. Then the 4 squares are sewn into the whole block. My block needs the paper removed this morning and then I'll sew the units together. There will be 12 blocks total, and this one is number 8.
Foundation paper piecing is a slow method but the corners are always so perfect! Love the colors of the Carol Doak BOM, happy stitching!
ReplyDeleteAre you glad there is only one paper piecing block per month or do you wish it would be closer together to get it done?
