Slow stitching this week...

I'm getting ready for the newest Hand-Pieced QAL called Harmony, which starts up on February 22nd.  It's designed again by Patty of Elm Street Quilts and Kristin of Simple.Handmade.Everyday.  I've bought the pattern and chosen a fat quarter bundle called "Camping" that I bought from Bernie's shop, Needle and Foot.

The top three (rusty red, dark green, and light green floral) will be my main fabrics.  Hoping I can work the other two in as well.

To keep up my hand-piecing skills, I've been working on another scrappy trips block in the RSC color for February, yellow.


Here are the three I've already stitched.

Harmony looks like a pretty pattern, and I like the fabrics you've chosen. Love those marshmallows on a stick!

I love the fabric choices for Harmony! One more week! The trip blocks are looking great.

Angela said...

I just can't imagine hand piecing those blocks! Good on you!

PaintedThread said...

I haven't done hand piecing like that in years!

Vicki in MN said...

When hand piecing do you knot or go over the first and last stitch twice?

I don’t think I have enough stash for the RSC, but I love seeing everyone’s blocks. So pretty!

Harmony looks like a wonderful pattern for handwork. I've been debating a RSC, but I have also made a commitment to finish some of the WiPs this year. Cheering you and the other RSC quilters on!

I'm glad to see you enjoying hand piecing - so many think it is harder than it is!

Wow! Harmony looks like quite a skills test. SEW glad you are enjoying the challenge of hand piecing, Diann!

You're more patient than I to do a hand-pieced scrappy trips. Your hand work is so perfect, though, that I'm sure you will have fun with the Harmony QAL.

Pink and Yellow trip blocks look great side by side, you are doing a beautiful hand piece. Diann. Success with the new project.
Happy Valentine's Day!

I'm almost tempted to do Harmony too! I guess I'd better make up my mind pretty soon!

I wondered if you'd join in with Harmony - what fun for you! Your RSC blocks are so pretty and cheerful!

Susie H said...

Looks like a fun SAL and right up your alley. When I catch my breath one day, I've got a pattern lined up to hand-piece too. Your blocks were the perfect warm-up for Harmony!

Such pretty yellow and pink blocks! The camping fabric is so fun!

Harmony is pretty. I like the fat quarter bundle that you have chosen.

JanineMarie said...

Such a pretty pattern and fabrics! Are you making the wall hanging or the throw?

Such pretty blocks for February.

You are much braver than I, the thought of hand stitching a piece terrifies me! LOL

Kate said...

I like your colors for the hand piecing quilt along. And hurray for 2 and half hand pieced RSC blocks. Another fun project.
