Kansas Dust Storm


Well, I did it.  I finished all the blocks in the Summer Sampler Series.  The last one was a paper pieced beauty called Kansas Dust Storm.  I learned a lot about paper piecing and don't think I'll be so apprehensive to try other quilts using this method.  


Here are all twelve blocks together.  Now I have to figure out how to set them.  I've been working on other projects as well and will have some things to show you next week.  Hope everyone is having a good Saturday!

Smiles,

    I love that block and you did such a terrific job on the center. It almost looks like a stack and whack block. Can't wait to see the completed quilt.

    Each one you have shown us has been my favorite. Now this is my new favorite. It will be fun to see how you decide to set it. Also looking forward to seeing what else you have been working on.

    I used the same fabrics for the farmers wife quilt. I am using a light yellow with pale cream polka dots for the sashing. I am anxious to see what you come up with. I love your blocks!
