It’s always when I have a million other things to do that I get distracted doing something unproductive but fun. Last night I played with the solid strike-offs from Moda and made these paper-pieced blocks. Yeah, I know I need a new iron. The top two are totally 80s! And I would love to frame them in white and make a quilt. But not today.
These represent the colorways in my Quilt Blocks collection. The top two are from the spectrum colorway and the bottom two from the shade and marine colorways, respectively. Not all of these will be available as solids in the Bella collection, but some will. Speaking of Quilt Blocks, Kim over at True Up did a nice feature, so go check it out!
Anyway, I have included these 8″x8″ blocks in a printable .pdf if you need a distraction too. If you’ve never worked with the paper piecing technique, you can watch some videos on YouTube and experiment until you get the gist of it.
These are really nice-love the colors! Thanks for the templates!
how fun! the blocks are fantastic 🙂
Wow, they look stunning! Great to see plain fab’s hitting the style as I was getting a little overloaded with cutesy prints!
These are beautiful! Thanks for sharing.

These are absolutely stunning! Thank you for the templates. I am new to paper piecing and haven’t quite worked up the courage to make my own patterns.
Wow, I love those blocks… I need to check out paper piecing asap!

Wow these are so cool! I’ve done paper piecing but not quite this complicated. Thank you for sharing the patterns!

Oooh thanks for these templates! I’m currently in a pouch swap and my partner likes improv … I, however much I appreciate and adore improv, am really crap at it! But paper piecing I can do … so thank you 🙂
WOW – I love your blocks. So improve & so modern-style. Thank you for sharing with us.
Thanks for sharing 🙂 Made these for a mini quilt swap at Quiltcon this year. -Julia
