After the paper-piecing fiasco with block 1, Attic Windows, I decided to hand-piece the rest of the 111 blocks.
(fabrics ~ Denyse Schmidt’s Hope Valley)
So fare I’ve pieced #2, Autumn Tints.
And #54, Kitchen Woodbox.
#26 Cut Glass Dish and #24 Country Path are all cut out ready for me to piece.

Oh my goodness! Those are beautiful – and hand pieced! I am the slowest ever! What are your tips for finishing a monstrous project? Shall I make myself do it while I watch tv at night? 🙂
Hi Blaze. LOL! My tips? Just keep at it girlie! Don’t make yourself do it…you just have to want to do it. But yes, I like to take an hour of so (longer if my husband is watching boxing on tv) and stitch while watching/listening to tv. I also take one block with me to work on while on breaks at work.
Great tips! Thank you! 🙂
Looking good. Hand piecing 111 more blocks – are you sure that’s a good idea?
I’m actually enjoying the hand piecing.
These are beautiful! I love the colors!!!!! I like hand piecing much of the time because it is so therapeutic–mental help 🙂 Wonderful work!!!
Thank you! I LOVE Denyse’s Hope Valley line. I’ve never hand pieced much before, I’m so loving it!
So fun!! That was a GREAT fabric collection choice for this quilt!!
Actually, as with Dear Jane, I know of far more people who are handpiecing this than machine piecing. 😉
Your blocks are turning out great! Can’t wait to work on more of mine in FL.
