Circle of geese block DONE!

Hi again,

I'm glad You're back! If it's your first time here, welcome!

It's the last month in the Craftsy BOM block making progress and to celebrate that we're doing paper piecing.

I like paper piecing for the precision, but I don't use it very often, for that reason I was pretty excited about these blocks. Not even mentioning that the Circle of Geese block was on my to-do list.

My experience this time was:

• Never used glue before for paper piecing, but I found that it holds the fabric in place on the  edges while sewing the sub-blocks together
• I realized that in my previous paper pieced projects I didn't set the stitch length short enough
• I learned that piercing the paper in advance is a VERY tedious process
• I remembered to cover my ironing surface in order to not to have printer ink on it while pressing the pieces (ink side down)
• When I un-thread my machine I have to un-thread the take-up lever, otherwise I'll have to take my sewing machine apart to be able to get rid  off the wound up thread (YEAH, ask me how I know!)
• I only had to rip once!

All in all, I loved the process of making this block, even though when I started to perforate the papers I thought I'll never get this done, it'll take FOREVER! I'm pretty pleased the way it came out with the points matching. I can say it's my most precise block in my paper piecing career.

For tomorrow I'm gonna be working on the  Friendship Circle block. I have the paper foundation already perforated so it should be easy-peasy :)

I wrote a blog  post yesterday from my phone and saved it, just to figure out later that I can't edit it from my computer, bummer! Rhonda @Quilter in The Gap is  hosting a photo-a-day  for 30 days which is really fun, come and join us! There's a button on the right sidebar (quiet  a big one) so you can see the themes for the days. It only started yesterday, so it's never too late to catch up!

My photo of the day was:

I'll also have to write a blog post  for the 4th quarter finish along. You can link up your UFO-s/VIP-s by clicking here. Hope to see you there!

'Til we blog again! :)
