Happy new year! If you’re looking to add another project to your 2020 sewing list, our Paper Chain Block-of-the-Month program begins TODAY! If you’re already a subscriber, check your email inbox for the January block pattern!
If you’re not already a subscriber: Twelve months, 12 foundation paper-pieced blocks—that’s so doable, right? Me and my Summer Sampler co-conspirators, Katie and Faith, have created this fabulous quilt, and it really wants to be your project in 2020. : ) We’ve got a great Facebook community for everybody who’s participating, and we’ll give you lots of paper-piecing tips and tricks along the way. Click here to make this quilt with us!
And here’s block #1, our January pattern: Spring Star. This block is relatively easy as far as the paper-piecing goes, so if you’re new to the technique, we’re easing you into things!
Something about the whole quilt design struck me as a little holiday-ish, so I’m making mine in Christmas colors.
