Round Robin :: Sweet Delight

When this quilt was passed off to me for my round, I was pretty excited!!  With each round it is becoming more and more amazing.  I was also excited and relieved that we would be given two months on this round.  

It has a great scrappy feel, but with a sense of direction.  Even though this is a Round Robin and there were no specific requests from the 'owner, there is a definite direction with in the color department!

30 1/2" x 30 1/2"

The last round is full of fun little 'tidbits'!  Emily went c-r-a-z-y with her round!  The paper pieced butterflies, lady bug, snail, a bee are just too cute!  I had to think very hard about my round and where I should take it.  Not an easy feat!

 

And eventually I did come up with an idea, now to execute it!  I wanted to keep it simple and bring a little light and airiness in.  

Hearts would be rather cute I thought and found a paper pieced pattern that I reduced to meet my needs.  You can find this heart and others at Piecemeal Quilts.  

These hearts are 3 1/2" x 3 1/2" unfinished.  Aren't they cute?!  I thought they were the perfect size for this round and the best way to add prints.  We all know I'm afraid of prints!!



Of course I needed one more element...something just right, just perfect.  The cuteness factor is off the charts!

This is another free pattern available on Craftsy called 'Tall Tales' and is designed by Kate Basti.  



I reduced the templates to 75% which made these blocks 3 1/2" x 5 1/4".  They were fun to make even at the reduced size.   
  


Have you ever over thought a decision about placement?  It can be pretty agonizing!  At least it is for me and certainly was with this project.



Hearts were flipped, turned and shuffled.  Should they go this way or that, here or there? The books went through the same routine until I couldn't stand it any longer!  I made the decision and went with it.  Come hell or high water...what's done is done! 



That being said...I'm wondering if I should flip the corner books on the bottom!  It made sense at the time!

41" x 45"

Anytime I can paper piece, its a good day!  And anytime I can get something done early is even better!
