It's time for the first One Monthly Goal of 2019. OMG is a great opportunity to stay focused on projects...and the bonus is that there are prizes.
I signed up for the Wire Flower Sew Along hosted by Karen @ Karen Lewis Textiles. Groups are made up of nine people, and everyone makes a Wire Flower for everyone in their group based on their colour preferences.
The first one took me about 2.5 hours. It's not a hard pattern, but there are several tiny, fiddly pieces.
The second one took a little under 2 hours. Since I'm using the same background for all my blocks, I was able to pre-cut some fabric to speed up the sewing process.
My goal is to finish the remaining seven blocks.
Those flowers are interesting, the more I look at them the more I want to make one. It's a good thing you like paper piecing so much.
ReplyDeleteThere's something oddly satisfying about these flowers. I haven't made any yet, but it's entirely possible I will before long :)
ReplyDeleteI really love the idea of this sew along. I hope that the process continues to go faster as you work on the blocks and it will be fun to see the assortment you create and receive! Also: you are rocking paper piecing these days!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat an interesting sew-along! Thanks for linking up with Elm Street Quilts One Monthly Goal and good luck with your project!
ReplyDeleteI love the look of these sweet flowers and considered making some of my own ... until I read it took you hours to make one. Yikes! I'll have to live vicariously through your quilty accomplishments on this one. ; )
