Always Bee Learning - July's Block for [dreamfctry}
I don't know about you, but I've had quite the productive week! I am finally caught up on all my bee blocks! Yippee! All my Kaleidoscope blocks are sewn up, and I have parted ways with a huge box of fabrics for trading!
Bek [dreamfctry} ended up in two of my bees, she had July in both, and chose paper piecing in both bees. The top photo is a design from Quilter's Cache, and the bottom two blocks are of her own design, so cool! This was my first time paper piecing, and after getting the hang of it, I think I love it. These are the most precise blocks I have made yet! Don't get me wrong, I love paper piecing, but good gosh it is time consuming. Way more than I would have ever thought.
I finished packing up my box of swap fabrics for the Stashtacular! Swap, and have sent them off! It feels good to clear out some fabric I know I won't use!
As of last night, I finished up all 30 of the blocks for my Kaleidoscope Quilt. All I have to do is sew the top together! I was pleasantly surprised at how well my points matched up (not perfect, but good enough for me!) and how flat they actually did lay. Can't wait to see what this quilt top looks like all sewn together!
I added a few more projects to my ever growing list, and have come to the realization that I will never be "finished" with my works in progress. Oh well, I'm OK with that. Well folks, that about wraps up my week. How was yours?
