June's block

I finished my June's block and it's still June! It's part of And Sew On BoM. There are already 6 blocks but I only managed to do three. I do plan to make some more though. Here's my fine china cup. Well the selvage on the cup it's not actually Chinese but we can pretend. It seems a bit bulky but the paper is still on so hopefully it'll lie flat later on.

I'm not huge paper piecing fan. I'm trying and the improvement is visible so that's what I like the most about it. When I started with this BoM I had no idea about PP. Check out my first block. I didn't even know how you should cut the seam allowance so it's all messy on the back side.

January's block = my first PP ever

I skipped few blocks since I had no concept. My sewing corner is too small so I have no space for hanging this "mini" once it's finished. Then I got the idea of covering some part of my bookshelf which I use for my sewing stuff. I decided to do the blocks in different colors. I previously made pink which was the March's block.

We'll see if I can keep up with this idea. If you want to know more about the BoM check out Kristy's blog.

    Veri, blok je super! Výborný výber látok, ako vždy. Vieš aj, čo máš napísané na okraji šálky? :)

    The June block turned out great, I also started learning paper-oiecing with this BOM, but unlike you I'm obsessed with it now ;)

    I love how you fussy cut the hexagons in your first block! You are really progressing so well! And it's okay, we're still friends even if you don't love paper piecing like I do ;)

    I'm working on this BoM, too! I love your orange fabrics! There's a lot to learn, no matter what new technique you're trying.

    Love the teacup and the spools! I've never tried paper piecing...it intimidates me a bit at the moment, but one of these days, I will try it!
