This past week has been quite productive for this little forest-o'-mine. Joining the first three and middle six friends are the FINAL THREE (eep!):
With all twelve blocks stitched and pressed, it looks like there's lots of paper-picking in my future (read: weekend). {Why oh why didn't I invest in something that washes out?! Sidebar: does anyone know if that actually exists?}
Linking up with Kristy of Quiet Play ;) If you haven't already, you've got to check out her latest pattern -- a pink unicorn!
Can't get over how awesome these are! You did an AMAZING job. Now make sure your fingers don't fall off as you are picking!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous!! Love them!!
ReplyDeleteI'll say it -- that's one sexy bird.
ReplyDeleteWow - those are awesome!
ReplyDeleteYour jay is so gorgeous! I just love all your forest friends... you're really making it hard for me not to start a new index card!! As for wash out paper, i'm pretty sure i saw some at my LQS the other day... I'll double check that that was what it was for and get back to you!
ReplyDeleteMe too! I love that Jay! Can't wait to see these all picked and sewed up in a quilt top!
ReplyDeleteYes it does! It's called Paper Solvy! Not that I used it, I picked all the tiny bits of paper out too...
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on these pretty blocks!

These are so pretty. I would recommend tweezers.
ReplyDeleteI was just going to recommend tweezers as well, but see someone beat me to it. :)
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see this all put together, it's going to be very beautiful!
The word that comes to mind when I look at your GOrGEOUS blocks is ....ethereal . Beautiful work .
ReplyDeletewhat a great finish!! the trick i know is that a teeny tiny stitch length makes the paper picking easier...happy picking xo
ReplyDeleteSee. Gina thinks they're ethereal too. And I bet she comments on Flickr too. I like the sound of Gina ;-)
ReplyDeleteThese look fantastic! I love the jaybird!!!
ReplyDeleteFunnily enough, I was just looking at washable paper stuff for paper piecing. It does exist but it's pricey! I think the one I saw was $10 for 10 sheets. So my suggestion is to put on a good movie to keep you occupied while removing all that paper!
You are going to have one stunning quilt! I love the blue Jay best of all- and that's a hard call- they are all fantastic!
ReplyDeleteNice job on finishing them all! You should be proud, they are just gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteIt's beautiful. It looks so complicated to me.
ReplyDeleteI especially like your jay! Very pretty!
ReplyDeleteLove your paper piecing ......beautiful. Thanks for sharing. Marie
ReplyDeleteThey are stunning blocks and I love the subtle coloured fabrics you've used ... especially in the eurasian jay.
ReplyDeleteWow - the bird especially I find stunning. It's going to be quite a quilt!
ReplyDeleteSarah these are gorgeous! I admire your paper piecing skills. These are so intricate and perfect. I also really like how light and clean your fabric choices are.
ReplyDeleteThese are so beautiful! I love the Blue Jay!
