.: Giveaway now closed! Thanks everyone! :.
Hello quilty types! It’s my day for the Quiltmaker’s 100 Blocks Blog Hop! And it’s a biggie. This is the tenth edition of the 100 blocks magazine – I’m not great on maths but pretty sure that makes like 1000 awesome blocks over the past few years. And I have contributed 3 of those! Yay!
So my most recent contribution is of course… paper pieced! I decided to go with a little cottage this time. It’s perfect for a little bit of fussy cutting! You know I can’t resist fussy cutting!
The block is #923 and is called “Little Cottage”. Can’t beat that for an original title hey? Afraid my creativity goes into the patterns and fabric choices and there’s not much leftover when it comes to naming my patterns ;) If you're a paper piecing fanatic like me, I have a bunch of other patterns - both free and for purchase. Pop over and have a look at my Craftsy shop!
There are some amazing blocks in this edition – you won’t want to miss it. Oh but hey, how about a giveaway? The fabulous folks at Quiltmaker are offering a copy of Quiltmaker’s 100 Blocks vol. 10 for each stop on the blog hop. So enter my giveaway then go enter all the other ones! Or just pop by your local newsagent and pick up a copy if you’re a little impatient (I get that!). Oh and did you know you can get a digital version? Cool right? Nothing like being able to shop in your pyjamas! Or maybe that’s just me.
Erm so how to enter the giveaway? Easy! Just leave me a comment. Any comment will do but if you need a suggestion, I always like ideas for new block designs.
What would you like to see paper pieced style?
I love your cottage, Kristy.

ReplyDeleteWhat a cute paper pieced cottage!

ReplyDeleteYou are the Queen of paper piecing! And your ideas are always so much better than mine.... Has there been a paper pieced bee?

ReplyDeleteCute block and congrats. I've only tried paper piecing a couple of times. So I can't suggest anything for now. Thanks for the fun blog hop.
ReplyDeleteThis cottage is so cute. As for what to see paper pieced style would be my childhood home. I am wanting to design a quilt top that is all about family and I have a feeling making the childhood home would be easiest by using the PP method.
ReplyDeleteCongrats!
Paper piecing looks difficult and someday I will learn. Thanks for the amzing block.
ReplyDeleteI love your cottage...but now I have a song stuck in my head and its all your fault!! LOL

I like your block! It would also make a really cute Christmas cottage!
ReplyDeleteI love paper piecing and your block is going to be a lot of fun to make! I have a puppy fabric that would be so cute fussy cut into the windows! Can't wait to get my hands on a copy so I can get going. As a suggestion, paper piecing that forms secondary patterns (like stars) are some of my favorites. Thanks for the inspiration!

Love your cottage. I would love to find a pattern of Santa's sleigh and reindeer that's a paper pieced block. I think some really neat detailed trimming on the sleight could be done. Call me nuts, I know it could happen with applique, but I'd like to see an alternative.
ReplyDeleteCute block! I am amazed at what paper piecing patterns are available, so I have no new suggestions!

ReplyDeleteLove the red roof. More houses ... let's make a neighbourhood!
ReplyDeleteI love house blocks! How about a Victorian style house or a castle?
