What's Happening Wednesday


I jumped ahead and finished the remaining two blocks in the New York Beauty Quilt Along.  This quilt along started March 5 and is sponsored by Sara at Sew Sweetness.  Thanks to Sara and all the wonderful quilters who provided tutorials for each block.  I have been paper-piecing for ages but I did discover a few new tricks.  The blocks are found here.  Now I have to decide which way I will set my blocks.

 I will need to make four more blocks if I want to finish this layout

For this layout I can add a border and be done.  A pieced border I think. 



These blocks are 8"finished. There are 10 designs but I had to leave one out because I made a mistake in printing out the pattern and when it was sewn it measured an inch too small.   This will be a wallhanging when complete. 

Or how about this?

However it ends up I am calling this "The Beauty of Scraps" 

Still plugging away at FMQing my RRCB. Hope to be able to show and tell about this next week. 
I am linking up with The Needle and Thread Network so stop by and see what is going on.  Lots of great work.
