Paper Piecing Part 3 and Part 4!!!!

Oh Dear Me--I do believe I have been on a Christmas Marthon for the last couple of weeks--didn't even realize it till I came up for air today!!!!!

Yesterday--my big plan was to redo  the block I needed to do for the presents paper piecing quilt top I was doing--here is the new look==

Remember I told you my sister and Rip-it-the-frog decided one block needed to be redone--the red bow in the other just wouldn;t let us find borders to go with all three reds I had used--so this block I had to redo with all new fabrics using a different red!!
And of course--could the block be an outside one --NONONO--was in the very middle--but I am a good sister and i redid it--I does look much better--here's a pile of the leftover fabric scraps from just this one block?????

OPPS the pictures are back wards--any way the top one is all the paper from the backs of all the blocks--and here is a picture of the floor==

now tell me paper piecing is fun==

 

Now I am working on the top of the quilt measuring for the borders when in comes little sister--we discuss the mess and I say that I had gotten one more paper piece pattern and I really would of liked to gotten done while I had the mess going--hey I figure if you are going to make a mess--why not a BIG one--then clean it all up????
 she really liked the pattern and the next thing I knew she was picking out the fabrics--SO--I sat down at the sewing machine at 1:30 and I paper pieced til after 7pm with only one break--(ice cream was shouting my name from the kitchen--so) and I did get the top finished to this--

     let me tell you--there was not as much waste on this one--the pattern gave some fabric cut charts--and of course it was smaller--I mean alot SMALLER--some of the tiny corner pieces only took 3-4 stitches on the machine--no joking--the upsetting part is that all my seams on the back of the paper pattern were even and right on the lines--but yet some of the fabric pieces on the front are crooked--can anyone tell me WHY?????

Today I had to clean up the apartment--could not stand all the threads and tiny piecies of paper everywhere--cleaned the bathroom and so on--then my friend Ann came and we visited a while and went to the store--after lunch is was done to the laundry room--had been trying all weekend to get in there,but for some reason--everyone else wanted it too!!!!

Once that was done and taken care of--I finished the borders on the two quilts and here they are in all there GLORY--

    Once I removed all the paper and did another iron some of the fabric took on better shape--the street lamp still looks a little "wonky"  must be from the wonky houses village!!!!

 

  And  this one is ready to be quilted one of these days and my cat needs his face put on him -- and the outter border was one with a one direction in it--I was sooo careful in sewing it in==but me got one upside down and had to take it out and redo it!!!!

Later I cleaned out my fabric closet some and regrouped some of the new fabrics I have gotten in--then worked on organizing all my boms and seeing which ones I might need to check on to see if I have all the newest blocks--boy being two months behind is not going to be fun--and then there is the swaps I am not in and I want to do FALL--SOOO I WON'T BE BORED ANY TIME SOON!!!!!   

TAKE CARE  HAVE SOME FUN TODAY--HUGS,JUST,DI
