I apologize for the All Over The Place-ness for today’s video. Take insomnia, add an all-day road trip, and being busy all around, and this is, apparently, what happens.

Welcome back to our Paper Piecing Vintage Quilt Along (#PPV2017)!
Stop back by tomorrow for the 3rd Annual Fat Quarter Lotto Drawing,
A reminder of how this works:
PPV was my 2014 Block of the Month. This project was inspired by old-fashioned, hand-pieced quilt blocks. Because I LOVE paper piecing, I couldn’t help but create my own versions of traditional patterns I love using my favorite technique.
Quilting along with us is easy! The Paper Piecing Vintage quilt pattern already exists, so you don’t have to anxiously await each pattern to be released.
We’re making this quilt together, one block at a time, as a group. We’ll be making two blocks a month. I’ll prompt you on the second and fourth Monday to remind you which block to work on next. With a little work and a little luck, we’ll have a finished quilt top by the end of June!
Get the completed quilt pattern (more info below) from CRAFTSY or ETSY for $10 (previously $12). If you already own this pattern, you are ready to go!
Individual blocks now available by popular demand: If you want to make just one or two blocks from the set, I am releasing these patterns individually as we go. (Link to purchase Block 8 below.)
The following is the August 2014 block (Block 8 for us) made for my 1930’s vintage fabric-inspired version of this quilt (above).
See a video about the original PPV!

Today’s pattern, Block 8 (August 2014), is Caught in the Web. You can find it beginning on page 37 in Paper Piecing Vintage, or you can purchase JUST this block pattern here.
All patterns for PPV are 6″ & 12″ (w/o seam allowance). The size you make is up to you.
The vintage version (above) is from my 2014 PPV.
I was lucky enough to have just enough of this fantastic orange spider print to make this block. The stripes were fussy cut to add a little more movement. I ♥ it!
Eight blocks in…we’re getting closer to the end!
Now is a great time to start cutting out those piano keys and 6″ blocks for cornerstones (optional, of course!).
Are you quilting along with Paper Piecing Vintage? Share a Signature Block for the PPV Signature Quilt! This special project is a for a commemorative signature quilt that I will keep after Paper Piecing Vintage has concluded. Find this block on page 21 of Paper Piecing Vintage. If you’re only making a few blocks, you can also find the Signature Block Pattern right here.
This is my color inspiration, created in EQ (subject to change as I quilt along!).
Since I’m using a lot of Halloween scraps, I’m also cutting the piano keys as I go from the leftover fabrics from each block. It will be a huge time saver at the end!
If you’d like to do a little planning, too, there is a coloring page included in the complete pattern on page 64.

Today’s pattern, Block 7 (July 2014), is Lily of the Valley. You can find it beginning on page 33 in Paper Piecing Vintage, or you can purchase JUST this block pattern here.

I continue to have a fantastic time choosing fabrics for my Halloween version of PPV. I love the combination of these fun lime jack-o-lanterns with the wonky swirls!

There’s a lot more Tuesday than Halloween going on today, but I do talk a bit about my favorite holiday and the 31 Days of Halloween in today’s TTMT!
Also, WORF!

March 2 for 2012, in progress: Project of Doom Signature Quilt
These blocks were sent to me by 2011 participants in The Project of Doom. If you’re just now starting the PoD, I am collecting signature blocks for a 2012 version! You can find all the PoD patterns on the Harry Potter page on Fandom In Stitches!
The top is pieced…now it needs borders, and I need to decide what those borders will be!

I will be at my bee’s annual retreat tomorrow through Sunday, so it will be a little quiet around here until next week. Have a wonderful weekend and I’ll see you on the flip side!

Oh my, have I ever been sick the last couple of days!
A stuffy nose crept up on me Thursday evening and by Friday morning, I was a sick mess. Stuffy nose, fever, aches and pains.
How fun!
In an effort to not spend my long weekend as a complete lump, I pulled out a hand quilting project I started ages ago. I had to go all the way back to my 2010 UFO list to find where I first started talking about this quilt.
Really? 2010? Come on Jennifer, get a move on!
This is my granmother’s signature quilt, before quilting and before I added the border.
This quilt inspired the Extra Credit block for the Project of Doom.
You may remember that I’ve worked on other quilt tops that came from Grannie’s house after she passed away.
I did, apparently, at least get the borders on Grannie’s Signature Quilt and start quilting in 2010, as evidenced by my 2010 UFO Round-up.
I’m keeping the quilting super simple. Grannie was not fancy and everything she did or made was practical and frugal, and I’d like the quilting to reflect that. I’m planning to bind the quilt in muslin.
It sure would be nice if this quilt did not make it to my 2012 UFO list!
Back to my tissues…and my hand quilting.
