Calling all Lovers of English Paper Piecing

Remember this sneak peek I showed back in September? I have finished the project but you will still have to wait to see the whole thing. I can give you another sneak peek. More sneak peeks to come.
The reason I can't show the whole thing is because the pattern is not available just yet. If love doing English Paper Piecing you are going to want to get this pattern from Missie of Traditional Primitives.   Karen H  and I have been testing this pattern for Missie.
Missie is recreating an old quilt called King George III Coverlet. Go by her blog to see this post. You can see some of her fantastic projects. She is vending a show and her booth is awesome looking. I wish I could go to shop. If you scroll down you can see some more the Coverlet.

The pattern is not available yet but if you like what you see let her know so that she can add you to her list.

Block of the Month

Today I attended the BOM meeting at my local quilt shop. I did get last month's block done in time to show so that I could get the new block for this month. 
 The block for October has the most pieces of any of the blocks we have made so far. I like the name--Cheese Box.
I am linking up to What a Hoot for her BOMs Away.

X marks the spot

 I have finally decided that I had better get busy with this rag quilt that I am making my daughter in law for Christmas. I made these little quiltlets.
 All done. Now to lay them out and sew them together.
 Several years ago I saw someone had used this kind of rotary cutter to cut out the squares for her rag quilt. I thought I would try it too. The only thing I can't remember is how well it unravels once the quilt is washed.  I guess I will find out.
If you want to make a rag quilt you can find lots of tutorials on Youtube.

The Geese Are Flying

I have been working on two different quilts which have flying geese parts. Call me Crazy Carrie because this is a new project I have started. I know I shouldn't start another project but I just can't help myself. :0) The first block spoke to me and said "Make this quilt." LOL
It is a free sew along from Woolen Willow Designs.  I am appliqueing two more blocks. Parts are wool and parts are cotton fabric. 

This is another sew along from Primitive Gatherings. Another border has been released so now I need to pick out the fabrics for it. The flowers on this top are wool.
