More summer quilti-ness is always on my list for summer fun! I’ve been pretty motivated to finish up at least three older projects … and as I say that… I’m counting up the newer ones I’ve started! Always the circle of quilt-life is it not?! LOL
So here’s a photo show of what I’ve been finishing up… and starting! More about the new stuff later… but I will tell ya, I have fallen in love love love with what is dubbed, ‘paperless…paper piecing!’ Yup. Doesn’t quite make sense does it.
One of my goals this summer was to learn a new technique, and I’m so glad I did. I love it. It’s just like traditional paper piecing or foundation paper piecing, but it uses … “reusable” wax transfer paper…. the beauty of it being that you don’t have to pick paper out of all your seams. It just lifts off. As I said, more on that later as I’ll dedicate a whole post to showing a quilt I made from it this summer, {and it’s not done yet!}. :).
So ~ The quilt below {Dancing Batiks} was designed for traditional paper piecing but I completed it using the paperless method. I love how it turned out!! And I can’t wait to get to all of my older paper piecing patterns and get them started using this new {to me} technique!!
Dancing Batiks, a traditional paper piecing pattern, this one designed by Judy Neimeyer.
Traditional paper piecing! This quilt is “Indian Summer” also designed by Judy Neimeyer. I had it pieced over ten years ago, but just got the border on and quilted it myself! LOVE!! Feels so GOOD to finish this baby up!!!
A happy go lucky fabric bowl!! Made with twisted twine, leftover scraps from my paper piecing, and a dazzling super large button in the middle, and ribbon edging! Pretty funky huh! And wonky! 🙂
Dancing Batiks hanging up in the yard… “Border Collie Approved!” 🙂
My first “Almond Country Beauty” block! This was the class and paperless paper piecing technique I began this summer! Twelve blocks to be completed.
