Hi everyone, I know there's a few replies to my last post I haven't got to yet, I've been trying to do a lot of processing and stuff (update soon I guess?) so my executive function for Peopleing has been a smidge low (and really I should be working but I'm not...) but. The other week I promised pictures of my paper piecing, so I've grabbed a few.
This one was my first attempt, based off blocks in The 1718 Coverlet by Susan Briscoe. This is a layout photo and not a great one because I took it a while back - it's all sewn together now and being quilted. I cut the paper shapes myself from copier paper and used fabric scraps to make it up.

This next photo is a pincushion I made out of a kit my mum bought for me, the fabrics aren't my style but it looks nice:

This next one is a star quily I'm making for Keats. I'm using actual sturdy pre-cut papers here and I learned how to baste without going all the way through. Excuse the extra black planets and grey constellations stars, I had to fill a gap to demonstrate. Mum thinks I need another colour for variety but I'm not sure.

Finally this is the quilt I started when I temporarily ran out of hexagons (I have more now, Keats sent some). This one I think makes me happiest because the star quilt had a few issues (I wasn't going to do that block, I was going to do one called Heavenly Stars instead) and also this one is - nerd alert - in theme with that novel What I Wrote so I have a deep fondness for it.
