Pillow progress

One night this past week, I paper pieced the last 4 arcs for the pillow I am making.  

Here are all 16 arcs, trimmed and ready to go. 


I tried to machine sew the small 1/4 circle onto the arc, but that did not work...  I unstitched and decided to hand stitch it instead.  This method worked out much better!  I was able to machine sew the outer part of the arc to the bigger piece of the block.  

Here is the first block of 16...


Only 15 to go.  They are 5" squares finished.  

In the meantime, I am just about done appliquéing the modern wedge quilt and hope to finish it off tomorrow during Slow Sunday Stitching.

  5. They look enormous on the computer screen, but they're only 5".... so tiny and sweet!

  6. The rainbow colors are beautiful! Can't wait to see them all together. And I thought the same thing Kathy did about the size. Maybe you could share some curved piecing tips one day.

  7. Thanks for stopping by my blog and leaving a comment. I see what you mean about liking to work on multiple things at once also lol. I try to always have a few different things going as I get tired/bored with the same thing all the time. Also having RA my hands start to hurt if I only work on the same project doing the same thing all the time. Problem is progress on everything is slow when you have a lot of projects going at once. But I love doing it that way lol.
