Midweek Update

This week I've been focusing on the parts and blocks needed for Lyra, mmmquilts' Spring QAL.  I shared the first two kite blocks that I paper-pieced in my Thursday post last week.  And from there I realized that I could paper-piece each of the sections that I need for this quilt.   

I drafted these myself, remembering to add the 1/4 inch seam allowance all around the outside, and they are working out perfectly!  (And fortunately, we have a printer than also works as a copier, so I only had to draw each block once, and then I could make multiple copies as needed.)

Kite, square-in-a-square, and tri recs blocks

The individual parts go together to make these interesting, interlocking stars!

I've been working from left to right.  To the right of the pink and blue star

 is another like the big star on the left.

I made a few more pieces and added them on, and now you can see that third section developing on the right.

Sandra has released the pattern for Lyra, and you can see her post for that here.   She also has designed another version of the quilt which I think is really fabulous.  I'm thinking about making that version sometime in the future.  For now, I'll keep working on this one!
