SSQA Progress

i must say, i am doing MUCH
better at keeping up with this QA.
We all remember my other QA fiasco.
now, don't be fooled, i have definitely
broken in the shiny new seam ripper.
at least it makes me happy when i use it :)

that up there ^ is block 4. it was
paper pieced, and let me tell you, it was
quite an undertaking fussy cutting those
frogs just sew. especially the dark one.
but for my very first real paper piecing, i
am SUPER proud of it. i ran to mom's the
second i ironed it out.


this is block 5
another paper piece. this one not
quite as good. but after ripping it
out 3 times, i said to H with it.

block 6 i am saving till the end as it is
a scrappy paper piecing. i want to use
all left overs for it.

block 7
finally back to regular piecing! :)

block 8
more paper piecing. i have learned that
neither myself nor my machine like
paper piecing that much. i would think 
i would have more control with this method,
but i think i am better off on my own.
now that is scary. but i am glad i learned
how to do it.

sew, there we have it. i really am doing
something. 

hello out there?!?! anyone else playing along?
check out all the commotion on the flckr group.

happy beginning of the week everyone.
if you want to have a good start, join us
on the SSQA and start your
monday block :) this is the ONLY
reason mondays are OK. :D

Holy Moly, those are some nit-picky squares! Wow. You've done a beautiful job with them, though. Your froggies are especially cute.
