I have been playing with the paper piecing for the Castle Quilt. I LOVE PAPER PIECING! I like that these blocks will have all different backgrounds. I don't have to worry about how much fabric I'll need, or if I might run out. Also, they will have small frames around them as well, And I like that too. I want to keep my eyes out for brick, stone, or castle-y looking fabric, so when I get that far, I can be ready! And maybe fabric that looks like green grass, and/or clouds/sky. This will be a fun project! I have 3 blocks done. Here they are:
 |
| Botts Every Flavor Jelly Beans |
 |
| The Mandrake |
 |
| Professor Lupine--the Werewolf |
One thing I have to be a little more careful on, and that is IRONING! As you can see in the Jelly Bean block, the 3rd red strip on the bottom section is wider at the top than on the bottom. This was an ironing mistake, not a sewing mistake. I did not press the seam correctly when I was sewing, and sewed the next piece to the poorly pressed part. It's not that major of a mistake and I tried to correct it, but it still is noticeable. I have to pay more attention to these details!
