This BOM includes traditional piecing, paper piecing, and machine applique. We started off with that big applique block in the middle. Here's mine. I love how the colours all seem to glow against the rich purple background, which is Northcott's Majestic. All of the fabrics for my Kitchen Party quilt were generously provided by Northcott and are their COLORWORKS solids.
All the pieces are fused in place, but I haven't stitched around them yet. I can't decide if I want to stitch around them now or wait and do it with the quilting. Whichever I decide to do, I'm going to need to get thread to match the medium pink and the purple.
I do have the threads to match the lime green, the teal, the light pink, and the dark pink.February's block is a paper pieced one, and it has only two seams. It doesn't get much simpler than that!
As always, I used freezer paper for my paper piecing and I made all eight blocks with just one template. I love that I can reuse templates with freezer paper! In fact, this is the same template I used to make the test block when I was figuring out what size the pieces needed to be cut for the pattern.
Did you know I have an on-demand workshop teaching how to use freezer paper for paper piecing? This technique is a game-changer for paper piecing!
I've been keeping my Kitchen Party blocks on my design wall, but they're going to have to come down after this weekend. I'm working on the next Stash Artists pattern and need the design wall to figure out block placement. I'm looking forward to putting these back up when I make the March blocks, though!
Before you go, did you know registration is open for the 2025 QAL and Devotional Journey? This year it's called Roman Adventure and it starts on March 5th. You can get all the details in this post.
