This quilt has been finished for a couple of months, but my studio piecing machine was in the shop to repair the needle threader and i didn't want to bring it to the house to put on the binding, since that table was covered in projects also. haha And, once the machine came back, I started piecing something else and didn't want to disturb that project either.
If you don't turn on the embroidery machine, things get done. So, here it is. It is 71x74". I THINK it was Leila Guardunia that designed these blocks. We got 1 each week for a year. I did 2 of each. There are 110 six inch paper pieced blocks. She came up with some fun designs.
I used a lot of green scraps and used up some bird fabric for the other half of the block.
Most designs were pretty simple and not many pieces, but some were a bit more involved.
This was an easy project...when you only have to do a block a week.
If I wasn't so lazy i could have pieced them on point and they would have looked more like trees. haha
The back is a tan paisley.
Top thread was Glide Light Olive; bobbin was Bottom Line Taupe. I used a panto called Funky Fleur-de-lys by Keryn Emmerson.
I have one more to get a binding on then I will be caught up again. But, I am going to my sister's for a few days tomorrow, so it will probably be next week before that happens.
