The end of SSQA

the final 3 blocks! i did it!! i actually finished
this QA in record time :D i almost ran out
of white...and i plan on white sashing so
i must pick some up soon before the
magic wears off and this becomes a really
awesome UFO.

i have to say i am really pleased with my
1st bout with PP, despite all my complaining.
My points have come out really nice and clean
for the most part. and as any quilter knows,
that is just sew darn important :)
for some reason, i really loved this one.
it is the most simple of them but there's
just something about it. i did sneak in some
of her Neptune line from a few years back
when she was with Moda. i still really LOVE
this line (and not just because she has a
VW van in her magazine ad for it).

and here is a sneak peak of the final layout:
hazaa! ;)
AND the best part....i have a great name
for it: 'The Princess and the Frog"
i know, its genius. OH and even better,
i have the PERFECT quilt label for this one.
A while back i got this from Tula's store
(i'm a huge fan and huge nerd, i even kept
the envelope it came in. she is sew awesome)
and i have been waiting on just the perfect Tula
quilt to use it on. VERY EXCITED. it's the
little things, people. however, the collector in me
wants to keep it mint in the package as most of
the labels have sold out....what if she doesn't offer
them any more and i end up with one of few that
never gets used?! yeah, i'm nutz. ;)

anywho!! anyone else completed their QA's?
Anyone with a quilt top together? i hope not!! :D

Welp i guess we're gonna have to find something
else to perk us up for Mondays. any suggestions?

Wow, those are stunning. I'm still having a little trouble with the evil bearded clown troll, but the rest is gorgeous. I love the colors. Good job!

Your blocks are gorgeous!!! I love the colors!!!
I haven't tried paper piecing yet.... It seems so daunting!! But your blocks turned out beautifully!! Hopefully I'll have the courage to try it, too!!
