‘Paper Pieced Modern’ Blog Hop + Giveaway!

We are so excited to be sharing a guest post from our friend Amy Garro, who blogs at 13 Spools. Amy is an incredibly talented quilter, and she’s also a great mom who inspires us with her honest and real writing!

Blog Hop copy

Amy is here to tell us a little bit about the inspiration behind one of the patterns from the book. She’s also sharing some sneak peeks of photos you won’t see in the book’s pages. Let’s learn more about her quilt, Faceted Jewels I, from the soon-to-be-released book Paper Pieced Modern:

Faceted Jewels I flat shot 1a

Faceted Jewels I is actually a simplified version of another quilt in the book, pictured here:

Faceted Jewels II flat shot

{Faceted Jewels II, photo by C&T Publishing} I actually designed the purple quilt first. I had more than one variation of this block drawn up, and wanted to use them both!

Faceted Jewels I 7a

The largest pieces in the blue version are actually white (background) pieces in the purple version. It’s fun to see how different a pattern can look with varying color and fabric placement. I placed the fabrics in a way to make the quilt look like it is sparkling. I explain how to create this look in the book with 3 different values of fabrics. Prints from Tula Pink and Parson Gray work together marvelously in this version of project.

Faceted Jewels I 3a

In comparison to the purple version (which is the most difficult pattern in the book), this version does have fewer pieces per block, and significantly fewer blocks in the entire quilt. I really tried to give a variety of projects in this book – some quilts lots of negative space, and some with none at all, simple blocks accessible to even the beginning quilter, and complex blocks for the more advanced quilter. This project has an intermediate-level block, but all of the negative space gives you a reprieve from tons of piecing. But don’t worry, if you’ve never paper pieced before, I offer step-by-step instructions for how to paper piece! I also go through all the tricky pieces you might run into and how to handle them.

Faceted Jewels I 1b

I was a bit stumped on the quilting for this one. Luckily, it was one I sent to Emily of Emerson Quilting. I also sent her links to a number of different quilts that I liked, and she used it as a jumping point to do her own thing. She really does the most fabulous linear quilting! I had her use some Quilter’s Dream cotton batting in deluxe loft. I must say, it’s one of my softest quilts to touch. It really is amazing how big of a difference the batting brand and loft can make.

Faceted Jewels I flat shot 2a

In addition to this pattern, my book has another 12 paper-pieced quilt patterns. No matter what your skill level, you’ll be able to find something that suits you! Here’s a sneak peek of tomorrow’s quilts:

Jumping Jacks 6

    It was paper piecing that drew me into quilting, but more traditional blocks and quilts. So I would love to venture into unknown waters for me: the combination of paper piecing and modern, happily together.

    I have sewn paper piecing, though I wish I had more instructions/experience in the beginning. New to the local guild, I joined the Friendship Block Gals – when it was HER month she picked a paper pieced Christmas block with 66 pieces for us to sew and she was not very generous with fabric pieces. I’ll always remember THAT block!
