I love paper piecing, especially for the accuracy I can achieve when using the technique. After printing out my pieces, I mark the proper fabric placement and start sewing. Initially, I must say that they don't look like much.
The picture becomes a bit clearer once the pieces are trimmed for sewing together.
The real picture comes once those pieces are all sewn into one unit.
When I place all of my sections together, I am beginning to get an idea of the size and the image that this mystery is going to become.
We'd love to have you join in on the fun. With so many great sponsors for the QAL, there are some really fabulous prizes to be won.
This is going to be sooooo neat!
ReplyDeleteIt's fun watching this come together as you make each section. Did you have an idea of what you would be making when you picked your fabrics? Your colors are the most realistic for what it looks like it will be. I do like the lime green background on Gosia's blog. :)
ReplyDeleteLooks like fun, and though I won't hang my hat on it, it's beginning to resemble Gibbs'favorite outdoor "toy" lol!
ReplyDeleteYour work looks great, Mary ! Thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThis is going to be quite handsome! I think my original guess was spot on! :)
ReplyDeleteIt looks wonderful, Mary! Love that background fabric. I think I am also starting to get an idea of what it will be. I also mark my fabric placements on the paper pieces before I start sewing. I make less mistakes that way.
ReplyDeleteHi Mary,wow such beautiful work ,yes i think i can guess also ,i am really loving your choiuce of fabrics and colours,well done my friend xx
ReplyDeleteI owe you two blog comments: one for this fun So Dearly QAL and another for last post.
ReplyDeleteI am enjoying seeing your work come together in this QAL. Your pieces seem to indicate a deer, but it will be interesting to see how all parts work together.
And last post's star quilts still intrigue me, as well as seeing the Gridsters Bee quilt come together. I'm way behind in my sewing, and hopefully I can get to it soon. Thanks for your bursts of inspiration!
