- Waterfall - NEW Form of Foundation Paper Piecing Pattern - 26" x 36" Quilt Block - The Waterfall pattern was designed by Cynthia England. Her new Paper Piecing technique is called ‘Picture Piecing’. It is a slightly different approach to foundation paper piecing and the pattern packet contains detailed instructions on this new technique. However, the pattern can be used as is with the traditional sew & flip method of paper piecing. The pattern packet contains a master pattern, a freezer paper pattern for cutting up and sewing on, a detailed fabric listing with measurements and all instructions necessary to construct this wonderful quilt block. The finished size of the quilt is 26” x 1936” and is for an intermediate level piecer. Sparkling blue water cascades down moss covered rocks in this picturesque nature scene. The detail image below shows a close-up of the upper waterfall. We used Superior's Glitter Hologram Thread in midnight, steel, silver and pearl, shown below, to add the perfect sparkle to the cascading water. Pattern Includes: A full-size master pattern, full-size iron-on templates and 4 pages of illustrated instructions.

Thank you all SO MUCH for your kind words about my pineapple blocks. I've been working on them off and on for a few months and it's fun to finally share them with you! I LOVE my quilt so far...and just like I had hoped, it keeps getting better as I add to it! Here's a photo heavy tutorial for you so you can make a pineapple block (or 20!) of your very own. Cut a 2.5" square for the center. Cut another 2.5" square in a contrasting color. Cut the contrasting square in half on the diagonal once to make 2 half square triangles. Arrange the pieces as shown. Sew pieces together and press. Trim off dog ears and cut two more triangles to add to the center piece. These will need to be slightly larger than the first set of triangles. Sew second set of triangles to center piece and press. Trim up the piece to form a square. Cut two strips of light fabric. These strips are 1.25" wide. Varying the width of strips throughout the block is a good idea (I used strips between 1.25" to 1.75" wide throughout)....HOWEVER....I suggest adding the same width of strips on each round. So, all the lights added to this round should be 1.25" wide. Sew the strips to the block and press. Add two more light strips. The width of these strips should match the width of the strips in the previous step. (In this case, 1.25" wide.) The goal is to keep your block as square as possible. Sew and press. Trim off the triangles as shown. Use your ruler to make the cuts 90 degrees from the center square. Discard the triangles. (Can you believe it? I actually threw them away!) The piece should look like this when it is trimmed up. Cut a round of dark strips. These are all 1.5" wide. Again, the width of the strips for each round should be consistent. Sew and press. Trim off the triangle ends. Do you see how the block isn't quite square? No worries. Just trim a sliver. That little sliver makes a big difference later on. Add two more light fabrics to the sides. And two more light fabrics the to top and bottom. Trim the triangle corners once again. And add another round. Sew and press. Trim. Add another round. Trim. Add another round, trim. You get the idea! Once the block measures 16" from side to side and 16" from top to bottom, it's time to add the corners. Align the block on a cutting mat and measure the size of triangle needed to fill in the corner. The measurements here were about 5 3/4", so I added 1". I cut a square 6 3/4" and cut it in half once on the diagonal. Measure and cut the triangles for the remaining two sides. Sew all the corners on and press. Trim up the block to 16" square. A few things to note: I varied the strips in the block from 1.25" wide to 1.75" wide. I think this adds a lot of interest to the quilt! It is harder to predict the final size when you are "building" the block, but once you make one or two, you will surely get the hang of it. These blocks can be made any size...I started with 14" blocks but bumped up the size to 16" after I made a few. This seems to be an ideal size for this strip width and 20 blocks will make a perfectly sized lap quilt. Keep an eye on your values (lights and darks), so the pattern emerges and is consistent throughout. These babies take TIME! I think each block takes me a few hours. (Totally worth it, though!) This is my favorite...the more scraps the better! Here's a progress shot. I've got 9 done so far! The one in the middle right is on point. That was a mistake, but I love what it adds to the quilt! If you have questions, I'll try to answer them in the comments. Happy scrap sewing!

I have been on a total paper piecing kick as of late! In all honesty, I was kind of avoiding this quilting technique as it seemed a little strange (and possibly like I was cheating) to use paper templates to stitch blocks together. But it is really fun! (If not a little time consuming.) The end results are stunning and the technique ensures nice crisp edges. Plus you can create really intricate designs that would otherwise be a real challenge to quilt. I had visions of a quilt with butterflies and was thrilled when I stumbled upon Lillyella's paper pieced butterfly patterns. Having never attempted paper piecing, I thought this would be a fun project to tackle. Since I'm a newbie paper piecer, I followed some recommendations from 3 and 3 Quarters on using larger scraps of fabrics to make my life easier. This was a great tip and one I would encourage anyone to follow if trying paper piecing for the first time. Essentially, you attach your fabric to the back of the paper pattern and then stitch on the printed side of the paper following the stitch lines. Each piece is marked with a letter and numbers. The first piece you start with is always #1, which I glued down to ensure it didn't shift on me. Once my first piece of fabric was in place, I then folded back the paper along the line separating section #1 and #2, leaving a 1/4

5 Favorite Paper Piecing Quilt Patterns animals and flowers. By professional quilter Janeen van Niekerk shares her work.
This morning I sat down and decided to see how far I could get with my Farmyard Animals Designs - I have 6 more friends waiting to meet everyone - First up we have Mrs Bull - or Cow as she is more affectionately known. Soft natured, lovely long eyelashes and a great big .... nose - I was going to say nose. Mr Bull loves her - nose. Following on Cow's hooves we have li'll Calf. What a little love. Mom's heart and Dad's pride. Li'll bullybeef in his suede coat is such a charmer. Next up Mr and Mrs Cockerell. 'Rooster and Hen' to their friends. Always on the look for a little something someone left behind. They're not fussy. Never far from each other all day except at 6:00am when Rooster climbs the barn and lords it over the farmyard. Hot on their heels it's Horse. A real trustworthy hardworking type. Not only good looking but really tall too. Seems to enjoy the childen riding him around the meadows. Last up today is Rabbit. Who the hell knows what he does all day, but he's got a great set of teeth on him this one, and can run - as fast as, well - as a rabbit. Here we have the Farmyard as it is at the moment. I actually have 4 more in the pipeline. Once these 12" (30cm) patterns have their instructions all done, I'll be putting them on my Craftsy Shop with all the others. Have a Great Monday!
