Paper Piecing Vintage Correction

Hello, friends! I have updated a minor sizing error in Paper Piecing Vintage. The August bonus block, Spin with Me, was slightly off scale and printed a little bit too big. I have also added a 12″ version of the same pattern for anyone that would like to use it as a substitute. No other patterns were changed.

If you purchased your pattern from Craftsy, you should receive a pattern update notification within the next day or two that a new download is available. If you purchased from Etsy, you can redownload the file under the drop-down menu on the right that says You – Purchases/Reviews.

If you won a free copy of the pattern, please forward the winning email to sewhooked@gmail.com and I’ll be happy to send you an update.

I am very sorry if this caused you any inconvenience.

It’s May Day, and the first of the month means a new Paper Piecing Vintage pattern!

Today’s installment is one I’m especially excited about. This pattern is about as traditional as you can get and there’s a good reason it’s still around…it’s cute, cute, cute!

I’ve dubbed my version Our Little House.

As with all the blocks from PPV, Our Little House is entirely paper pieced and both 6″ and 12″ patterns are included.

Use 3 1/2″ strips for the roof and wide background pieces

Paper Piecing Vintage: April

Leave a reply

Welcome April and today’s pattern, Rambling Maid …and that’s no joke!

Rambling Maid is inspired by the classic quilt block Old Maid’s Ramble.

This is a young, updated and entirely paper pieced version and I don’t thinks she’s too worried about matrimony, hence, Rambling Maid!

As with all the blocks from PPV, Rambling Maid is entirely paper pieced and both 6″ and 12″ patterns are included.

Rambling Maid, by Jennifer Ofenstein (sewhooked.com)

Like many of the PPV blocks, the pieces for Rambling Maid are easy to pre-cut with a little measuring before you start.

Save some time by following these bonus directions for the 12″ block:

Big background triangles = 2 – 6″ squares, cut in half on the diagonal (makes 4 triangles)
Outside corners = 2 – 5″ squares, cut in half on the diagonal (makes 4 triangles)
Center = 3 1/2″ square
Flying Geese = 10 – 3″ squares, cut in half on the diagonal (makes 20 triangles)
Flying Geese bodies = 2 of each color: 2 – 4 1/2″ squares, cut in half on the diagonal (makes 8 triangles, 4 in each color)
Have fun!

April is my birthday month and I have a very special favor to ask! All Paper Piecing Vintage Participants are cordially invited to share a 6″ signature block for the Paper Piecing Vintage Signature Quilt! Use fabric leftover from your PPV quilt and then just follow the directions in the pattern.

This is a very special side project to commemorate your participation in the PPV BOM. If you participated in The Project of Doom or There and Back Again, then you know that Signature Quilts are near and dear to my heart and are my favorite way to commemorate projects like this!

For those of you anxiously awaiting the name of our newest furry family member, I’d like to introduce Rose! Her name is inspired by four of our family’s favorite fandoms: The Lord of the Rings (Samwise’s wife, Rose Cotton), Harry Potter (Rose Weasley), Doctor Who (Rose Tyler), and Homestuck (Rose Lalonde). We’ve pretty much covered all bases for all two-legged family members! Also, and most importantly, she just looks like a Rose. 🙂

Paper Piecing Vintage: March

4 Replies

Hello, March!

I’ve continued to be thrilled with each and every Paper Piecing Vintage block photo that you all have shared. Thank you so much for joining me on this journey!

Today, we have the third installment in our Block of the Month: Ice Cream Bowl.

Ice Cream Bowl is a classic pineapple quilt block. The “bowl” comes from the color placement and the optical illusion that it creates.

Not only are pineapple blocks one of my all-time favorite quilt blocks, a smaller version of this block is my go-to pattern for teaching beginners!

As with all the blocks from PPV, Ice Cream Bowl is entirely paper pieced and both 6″ and 12″ patterns are included.

As a bonus this month, there is a simplified 6″ pattern included for those of you not wanting to piece quite so many pineapple leaves! Want to make it 12″? Just print, cut in fourths, copy at 200% then glue or tape together!

Ice Cream Bowl, by Jennifer Ofenstein (sewhooked.com)

Already registered? Download your updated BOM file now!

Here are a few helpful hints:

Pre-cut strips for the “leaves.” 1″ works great for the 12″ pineapple and the bonus 6″ block. 3/4″ is plenty for the 6″ version.
Once you get a few rounds out from the center, you can prepare all four “leaves” at once (shown above). Instead of stitching one line at a time, stitch one, pull thread a little out from your machine, turn the pattern, then stitch the next until you’ve finished all four!
If making the 6″ block, make your life much easier by trimming seam allowances to 1/8″. That will reduce bulk and make it easier to work with.
Enjoy!

Paper Piecing Vintage: February

Leave a reply

Welcome to February! Is it just me, or did January seem to last forever? Maybe it’s just the excitement I’ve felt over every single Paper Piecing Vintage block that you wonderful people have shared! Today, I’d like to introduce you to the second installment in our Block of the Month: Come Fly Away. This block was inspired by a quilt I saw years ago but have never forgotten. I’ve recreated the block as best I can from memory. The name is my own and I hope you enjoy this sweet and simple chevron block! As with all the blocks from PPV, Come Fly Away is entirely paper pieced and both 6″ and 12″ patterns are included.

One Block Fun – The King’s Crows

Leave a reply

On January 1, I shared the very first block in Paper Piecing Vintage: The King’s Crows.

Paper Piecing Vintage is a block of the month and there are 12 blocks in the quilt, but there’s no reason that each block can’t feature in a quilt of it’s own!

I had lots of fun playing with this idea for each month’s design and will share those with you as the year goes along.

Enjoy these ideas for fun layouts, all using the 12″ version of January’s PPV block.

And, in case you wonder…

Vintage-inspired patterns on white with cornerstones.

Blue and Black, one of my favorite combos!

Blue and Yellow: hello, sunshine!

There must be purple. Always purple!

This one makes me think of ice, and I LOVE the floating cornerstones!
