Oh Candy

 

Yet another project getting worked on, this is the start of attempting to make my design for the MQG challenge. I’m not going to be able to finish this by the 10/31 deadline, but I still really like the design I did and the fabrics are purchased, washed and ironed(several times).

I chose to do this with paper piecing.

And I’m doing the fold and stitch method instead of sewing on the line through the paper. But the pieces are quite big and unwieldy.

But it’s worth the effort, especially with the woven material we’re using for the challenge. It sews up quite differently than normal quilting cotton.

A lot of spray starch is involved! Thanks Best Press for always working.

There’s the completed block for one out of four corners of the quilt design. It’s a 14” block finished size. I really like the look of the Artisan Cottons, which are cross weaves.
