The April block for Craftsy's Jinny Beyer block of the month was called Pine Needle Basket.
New for this month's block was Paper-Piecing. Have you ever taken a paper-piecing class from me? No? Well, there's a good reason for that. I don't DO paper-piecing! I guess I do now!
I am piecing this entire quilt with DecoBob from WonderFil. It's an 80 weight poly thread and pieces like a secret! I worried that the thread wouldn't withstand the "rip out the paper" part of this process, but I didn't pop a single stitch!
I am piecing on my Janome 6600 and never have I ever used the scissor button before. I just discovered that the scissor button was designed for paper-piecing. It is ah-ma-zing!
So, here's my block:
Once again, Jinny gave me the option to add applique flowers to this block and, once again, I am declining her thoughtful invitation. This shall remain a basket empty of flowers.
What new skill might I learn with the next block?
