Here's a snippet of Sue's quilt posted with her permission.
Here's my progress at the end of day one
the end of day two
and over the weekend.
The rings aren't sewn together yet and shock horror I may even try sewing them in on the machine. Then again I may not.
I've discovered my Bernina likes paper more than my Janome so will use it for this project.
I'm not sure if this block will make the final cut - it was good to have a practice first I think.
BTW for the Sydney siders Melinda has installed blinds in the classroom and it has made a world of difference. It was much cooler in the classroom than the outside temperature.

good progress I think.........I have done one little thing paper piecing and not really know much about it...........
I have not given paper piecing a try. I think that is one thing I would like to have a live teacher for. I can't wait to see your finished block. It looks very tedious.
OMgosh your block is beautiful! Way to go with paper-piecing! Isn't it amazing how one machine with work better for certain kinds of sewing. I have 2 pfaff's. But I really like the older one for curved piecing and blanket-stitch.
This is my first visit to your blog, i think. I got here from Judy's Design Wall post- Those circles are beautiful. I love them.
Great work on your block. I have that one on my list of to-dos. Purchased a book about a two years ago and just havent gotten started. It's so much fun looking at design walls and seeing projects I want to make. Keep going as your blocks are beautiful.
Very pretty -- I love all your polka dots!
Oh Brenda...I LOVE it! Love the design and the fabrics you've chosen. I really like paper piecing, especially projects like this. Let us know how it goes sewing the rings together.
That will really be a beautiful quilt when you're finished. I'm not a big fan of paper piecing, either, but you're right, there are times when it's just called for. I don't think you should call your first block a sample. It looks good enough to me!
Wow, a beautiful block. In a beautiful quilt. I've seen the same pattern in all polka dots and it looked fabulous too. So this has to go in my list of wanna do's!
Beautiful block, love to see your progress day by day. Sue's quilt is awesome.
That quilt is truely beautiful and you are doing a wonderful job with your block. I really enjoyed seeing it as it progressed.
Your block looks great!
Wow Brenda this is beautiful!
Wow, this is not for the faint of heart. I'm not a fan of paper piecing. Bravo though.
The block looks great I've never tried anything as intricate but seeing yours has inspired me a newbie to have a go. It's beautiful well done you, it's my fist visit to your blog and I've really enjoyed it thank you.
