Famous Buildings of the World ... paper pieced

This was my most ambitious paper piecing project ever, I think. But they certainly were fun to do. I finished piecing them on October 15, 2016 .... seems like just yesterday.

It is 67x81"

Here are some of the blocks. I did the wordage with my embroidery machine.

I made 42 of the blocks....but if memory serves....it seems there were about 50 blocks. but the ones i didn't do had teeny, tiny pieces....even more so than these.  The blocks are 6 1/2" finished.

I used a muslin for the back and my Quiltazoid Baptist Fan boards. Glide Cream for the top; Highlights Blue for the bobbin.

Those blocks are amazing. Although Big Ben isn't actually the name of the building.
