Traveling

from inside the Seattle public library

peppermint candies quilt

One block done after joining 8 sections

ironing seams open after removing paper

I have a love / hate relationship with paper piecing.  First I love the accuracy with paper piecing but I hate  the  mess of removing the paper.
This block came together perfectly, look how those seams come together to form the peppermint candy....yeah I love that part!

I'll show the whole quilt after it is released by Quiltmaker mag., this pattern was shown in the  Oct. /Nov. issue but did not look anything like this. :0)  Happy Sewing, Kim

Roses

Beautiful roses to look at are a calming balm to the soul.
