Peter Pan

Well, I finally finished the last paper pieced block late last night.  I still need to add some embroidery to it, but, that is the easy part.

I would have been done sooner, but, I made another stupid mistake.  This pattern is 'colored' on the back, and the designers background is a light green (mine is a white on white).  Instead of double checking each piece, before I added it, I just added green fabric to 3 places on one of the pieces of Peter Pan.  Oops!  If I'd been paying attention, and checking like I should have been doing, I would have noticed that those 3 pieces were supposed to be background pieces.  Seam ripper to the rescue.

Here is the block, corrected.

both blocks (sorry for the bad color picture)

Peter just needs his nose embroidered on now.  This block was designed by Michelle Thompson, and can be found here.

The next part is the crocodile, that will be across the bottom of the quilt.  I found a great pattern at Sew Fresh Quilts to use, called Crocodile Rock, at her Etsy shop.  Lorna has some great patterns.  Here is a picture of the pattern that I'm going to use.  I'm only going to make one crocodile.

I'm headed off, as soon as this posts, to find some fabric for the crocodile. 

Here are some of the other fabrics that will probably show up in this quilt.

Tinkerbell fabrics

I need to get this quilt top finished, so that the long arm quilter can do her part.

  4. Your Peter Pan block looks so intricate! I've done some paper piecing, but they are simpler patterns. You are a genius with these, Cheryl and they look awesome!

  6. I've enjoyed watching your Peter Pan Characters 'come alive' as you've paper pieced them. I've often found that paper piecing require paying close attention and can be so frustrating. I know this will be a treasured possession for generations to come.
