Santa

Paper pieced Santa's

I like to make a little handmade ornament every year.  This one was quick and fun and you can find the free download to paper piece one yourself right  here.

Happy sewing and Merry Christmas

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
