Moda Blockheads 5 - Blocks 3 & 4

 Hmmm.  when you make a long-term project scrappy,  it calls for having alot of fabrics tossed about in your work space.  I am still caught up with this project,  sort of.  I 'm not sold on my choices for block 3, so I'm pretty sure I will be re-doing that one.  It just needs some light background for contrast!

I made block 3 using the paper piecing method;  but for the first time, I sewed next to the paper instead of thru it.  It worked out pretty good.    I made an extra copy of the pattern units to cut apart and use as templates for cutting my fabrics which makes placement easier also.  My paper piecing methods also use many tips from Carol Doak's teachings.



and here is my block 4 which I totally love !  It was super quick with the gocutter and no trimming.

    Those are looking good! I've never tried paper-piecing without sewing through the paper - it sounds like a useful technique to learn.

    Love your blocks! Have you tried freezer paper piecing? It's my go-to foundation piecing technique

    An AccuQuilt cutter makes things so much easier, doesn't it? Love the fabrics you are using in this project--so pretty. I get what you mean about a scrappy project taking over. I tend to keep the fabrics I've used around so I can use them again in another block in the quilt. When possible, I try to corral them all in a single container. That way I can keep my work surface clean while also keeping the fabrics I want to use nearby. Thanks for sharing on my weekly show and tell, Wednesday Wait Loss.
