A Boat and A Heart, My New Free Paper Piecing Patterns

August 4, 2016June 20, 2016 by admin

Hello everyone!

Wishing you all a happy start of a new week and Summer!

Isn’t amazing?, Summer is here, and with it, all nice and happy things to do. Nice weather most of the time, and sometimes too hot to be quilting!

The good thing about quilting is, I always can find something to quilt in any weather.

It is too hot to be doing some hand quilting, no problem, small patterns are perfect to work on those hot days.

Summer makes a perfect time to work on making a new top, I will have it ready to be quilted during the winter.

Today I have to new Paper Piecing Free Patterns for you, have you been quilting along with me?, if you have, that’s great, but if you haven’t, don’t worry, you always can start quilting along with me anytime.

These 5 x 5 ” paper piecing blocks are easy, nice and fun to make!

Each block won’t take more than 30 minutes to make, you will need to print out pattern from here, a good idea if you want to keep the pattern, it is to print it twice, you can work with one pattern and save the other pattern to make this block again latter.

Today I have a boat and a heart pattern, hope you have some fun making them.

If you have any questions about it, leave a comment and I will answer to your question.

You can always share your Paper Piecing Quilt with me and all my readers on my Facebook page Alejandra’s Quilt Studio on a comment, I will love to see your work!.

I thank you for making the time to stop to read my blog, I also thank you for any link to my blog!

Alejandra.
