Paper-pieced Block of the Month

Have I mentioned this one before? My guild is doing it's block of the month challenge in 2013 and this year, we're doing paper-pieced blocks chosen from Carol Doak's 300 Paper-Pieced Blocks. ​Each month, one of our leaders (Kate) chooses a block and we all do it in whatever fabrics, size, or quantity we want. We keep these blocks for ourselves--no exchanges involved.

My challenge to myself is to work completely from scraps. I'm doing four 4" blocks each month. No idea what I'll do with them yet but I'm having a blast!

January's block--starting out simple for those who may not have paper-pieced before.​

April blocks. Not as fond of these just 'cause trees were too small to do much with, but they work.​
