The camp that I am currently working at, closes for the week of the fourth, so I was able to get my block done, on time! I must admit I am not a big fan of paper piecing. I find it a royal pain. Maybe it was the pattern I chose... Anyhow, here is the block!
Again, it is sideways. The border fabric is really, really bright, but it was the only yellow that did not involve dinosaurs or fish in mom's cupboard of scraps. So, I will have to put it elsewhere in the future to make it less striking. Here is a close up on those trees...
and the whole thing...
I am not a huge fan of how it turned out. Plus, I discovered that somehow, when I squared off the last block, I made it almost an inch too skinny, so I will have to put something on that side to make the quilt up to size.

I love it, Steph! You can make the next side block an inch wider to catch it up. I found at one point that I had done that very thing and now it matches our guidelines.
And, although paper piecing is a very time consuming technique, it sure makes beautiful, crisp points. There is a time and a place for every technique, and we just have to go with the flow. Our Dorinda quilt had LOTS of paper piecing and Lyn muttered the whole time we were doing them, but her quilt is gorgeous!
Love you and have a good week at camp!
Nice tall trees! Great sky fabrics.
Your pines are FABULOUS. I really like the cloudy sky behind a couple of them.
I love the blocks, and the whole thing is wonderful. This is a great way to create unique quilts that are saturated with our personalities, isn't it?
