Once I started hanging them up on the design wall, I got pretty excited. I wasn't really sure I was going to like them or not at first!

Modern Solids Challenge Progress.
9.30.2014
I've been working really hard on my Modern Solids Challenge quilt the past few days! I am a little behind due to waiting for my background fabric to arrive and then promptly getting sick as soon as it got here, but I am hoping to finish very very soon! It took a few marathon assembly line sewing days to finish all the blocks. These blocks take quite awhile to finish, especially while making just one at a time. I made them in large batches and it seemed to go a little faster.
Paper piecing makes such a mess, but the precision is worth it in my opinion. I think I filled up an entire garbage can with all the little trimmings!
I spent last night basting and I'm looking forward to getting started on the quilting today!

Welcome to Bijou Lovely. This blog is named after my great grandmother, Bijou Lillian, who encouraged me to embrace all the lovely things that the world has to offer. I hope to provide you with inspiration for sewing, quilting, photography, design, and daily life here at Bijou Lovely! It's truly lovely to have you here.
Ohh, this is so lovely!!! I can't wait to see the full reveal! Also, I love that you use a milk glass bowl (vase?) for trimmings. I really need to pull out one of my own now for the same purpose!
ReplyDeleteI love it! The lines are so clean and crisp. Can't wait to see it all quilted up :)

ReplyDeleteOh my gosh this is gorgeous! Would love to know what the name of this block is that you paper pieced. I LOVE paper piecing for the precision aspect of it, not so much the time it takes. Can't wait to see it quilted up. Good luck!
