Flock of Crows!

Last week, I shared an open invitation for those of you playing along with Paper Piecing Vintage to share photos of your blocks with the Sewhooked flickr group and BOY did you come through!

Every version of the PPV January block, The King’s Crows is different and wonderful! I love seeing your fabric choices and speculating as to how your finished quilts will look.

One of the best parts for me is seeing so many familiar names. Thank you, friends, for being part of my first ever paid BOM and helping to support both Sewhooked and Fandom In Stitches. You all ROCK!

This first block was pieced by Amber! Amber is The Official PPV Pattern Tester. She tries every pattern before it goes live to double check that my instructions make sense and that everything prints correctly. She also puts up with endless texts about the crazy ideas that spill out of my head. She deserves a cookie factory just for that!

This block is by Jewells, my best girlfriend for the last 20 years. Despite totally not having time to BOM with us, she’s doing it anyway. She is by for the most supportive BFF a girl could have!

By TweLoQ, fellow designer over on Fandom In Stitches. She’s created her own layout for her PPV blocks!

These next blocks were shared by other PPVers, most, if not all of whom are part of the Paper Piecing Vintage Facebook group.

The joy I get from seeing your blocks is wonderful!

Thank you to each and every one of you for sharing!

One Block Fun – The King’s Crows

Paper Piecing Vintage: January

Happy New Year!

Let’s get this year started right: with fabric and fun!

Introducing The King’s Crows, the very first block from Paper Piecing Vintage, my very special Block of the Month with patterns available exclusively through Craftsy!

The King’s Crows is inspired by a hand-pieced, hand drawn block by the same name that I found in a quilt catalog from the 1800s.

As with all the blocks from PPV, The King’s Crows is entirely paper pieced a both 6″ and 12″ patterns.
