Sneak Peek-What Am I Doing?

As you may know by now, each month the Island Batik Ambassadors have  a challenge.

The June Challenge is called "Try a Technique" - I have tried lots of techniques over the years with varying degrees of success.  You have probably seen some of my failures "learning experiences" as I am pretty open about the fact that I am not perfect.

Paper piecing is a technique that I have tried before. In fact it was my gateway into quilting. But then I learned that sometimes, I just can't manage the "reverse" positioning that is required for it.  So,  I am using paper piecing in my June challenge, but it will not be the technique I am trying. I still have a surprise for you with that.

Here is part of my paper pieced project. 

It has worked out great so far.  All of the fabrics are, of course, Island Batik. The pattern is from a Craftsy---oops BluPrint-- class by Toby Lischko: Clever Curves:Piecing Techniques.  The class is pretty great.  I have actually sewn curves that come out correctly thanks to some of the techniques she teaches in the class.  So I am confident that when I sew all the center pieces and outside pieces to these paper pieced sections, it will come out correctly.  I will say that in the class, she recommends a different way to piece this using freezer paper, but I did it the traditional paper piecing.  After all, my work, my choice!

Until Next Time,
