Finally! I have had a bit of time to focus on my Down the Rabbit Hole Quilt by Sarah Fielke. Yea!! I joined this QAL late so I am quite a bit behind the other quilters. But maybe I will catch up before the end.
I am on month 5 of this QAL. I was surprised that the little paper pieced houses took me so long, but they did. Maybe the fact that there were 40 of these little cottages added in to the mix.
I really did enjoy making them though. Each house is different and has tiny little windows. Aren’t they cute? The roofs were paper pieced.
Paper piecing isn’t hard, it just takes patience. I made sure to cut my fabric pieces larger than I thought I would need. In fact, after a few houses, I just cut one large 6” strip the width of the fabric out of the sky color. I sewed straight to the strip and trimmed after. For some reason it didn’t feel like I was wasting as much fabric with this method. I think I will play a bit more with this technique and do a tutorial on it because it really was MUCH easier😊. Easier is always better!
In the corners I appliquéd these happy designs that look like the sun, but they are not.
These little 6.5” sunshine blocks will join together in the next round with more of the same blocks to make a sun flower. CUTE!
I finished the round with a fun black and print border. I LOVE IT!
I just want to stop all of my other WIPs and stay Down the Rabbit Hole, but I won’t. I will come back to the real world. I don’t like having too many irons in the fire, especially around the holidays.
Thank you for stopping by and reading my blog today. I hope your day is SWEET!
It's a T-Sweets day!
