Week 25 EPP - Piles of Paper

Having completed all the blocks, it's time to move on to the next stage.  I rewarded myself with my first ever hand quilting to emphasise the star in the centre of this block...


..before sitting in the sun to remove the remaining paper pieces.


Fortunately I removed most of the papers as I went along, just leaving the edges in place.  Most of the papers were re-used three of four times.



I think I will still end up with a small mountain of paper pieces to go in the recycling bin.



Linking up with Jessica at Life Under Quilts for her Monday Morning Count, and WIP Wednesday at Freshly Pieced .

    You've forgotten to include a photograph of the cat spraying all those insert papers over the carpet. The little scamp. Anything to demand attention.
