Here is my progress with this layout. Slowly, but surely, I am making headway with my blocks. My side setting triangles will be white (the blue and pink parts that you see is just my design wall). Five blocks are completed with 8 more to finish.
This is the back of my rings. I use English Paper Piecing method and whatever scrap paper on hand gets used. My fabric gets basted onto the paper template and then hand sewn together.
I have tried so many different applique methods; but find myself coming back to English Paper Piecing. Whatever works for us is the way to go.

DH and I had company this past weekend. My niece, Nicole (she is wearing the wine top), ran in the Good Life Fitness Marathon and she completed 21k. Congratulations!! This was her first marathon and she breezed through the finish.
In the background, you can see some of the fall foliage that we saw when we were waiting at the Finish line at Queen's Park in downtown Toronto.
Have a great day!
I just love this quilt. Did you make your own papers templates? Do you sew through the paper?
ReplyDeleteOOOOOOOOO my that is a big jb to do and you make it look so easy. I know I'm not doing this one. Thanks for shaing
ReplyDeleteOhh friend, I LOVE this. To me, this one is close to divinity. Goodness. I have a surprise for you to. It's just a side bar note to share with you. I'll have to send you an email.
ReplyDeleteI really love those blocks. Are you using glue to set the pieces to the paper or are you stitching? They look fabulous!

ReplyDeleteI was wondering how you got such even looking curves on the rings. The English paper piecing was certainly the way to go making this. Beautiful blocks.
