Work in Progress Wednesday ~ Inspiration Strikes



I love a challenge ~ especially one that involves fabric.  The Modern Quilt Guild's latest challenge is to use Michael Miller's Petal Pinwheels fabric to make a quilted project.  I got the bundle and knew exactly what I wanted to make!  The motifs have an Orla Kiely vibe and I had a paper piecing pattern I designed 1 1/2 years ago that would be perfect for the fabric!
Only problem, I needed all the prints to finish the project!  Well..... today I got the package with the remaining fabrics.  


I love how the Michael Miller's Dim Dots fabric works with the Petal pinwheels line.


It is a lengthy process paper piecing all those chairs....... I started last weekend and have been sneaking in a bit of sewing when I can  : )  It is a bit tricky to fit in sewing during summer time as my boys are with me all day!  And the weather here has been so nice so it has been extra difficult to be inside sewing : )

Pop on over to Freshly Pieced and share your Work in Progress.  I'd love to see what you are making  :)

OK ~ off to sneak in a bit more sewing this evening!

  9. Oh, Charise, please, please tell me that the cutest paper pieced pattern ever might be available to purchase. My daughter is starting college this year and I know a quilt made of chairs and sofas would be perfect for my fashionista! Love, love, love them!!!
