For nine months I have been sewing along with Kristy over at Quiet Play participating in her Sew Kitschy Block of the Month. I am both sad and joyful that this month we complete the final block of the series. Each month the blocks required more skill and the number of pieces in each block seemed to double with each month.
I did have one area that didn't quite fit. Her left arm looks a bit odd but I think I can fix it when I get to the quilting. Plus, that seam was one of the last pieces to go together and fixing it required way too much work. But I do think I did quite well otherwise and am happy to say I no longer have any fear of paper piecing!
Here are all nine blocks.
Now it is is time to get the project finished so I can get it hanging in my kitchen.
I am already planning my next paper pieced project. It involves Kristy's London Calling patterns and I can't wait to get started on it.
You can check out who else tackled this block by going here. Some pretty impressive projects getting made!

That block is great...in fact, all of them are great. Love the aqua with orange!!!
holy fritos! Awesome. She's perfect and the whole collection is really something.
Many thing can be fixed with quilting, right? haha! :)
They look great all together, you done a fabulous job ... I fell off the wagon half way through ... but I will finish them!
Oh my! They look amazing all together. This is something I doubt I'll ever attempt. I'll enjoy yours.
Wow!! Those blocks look GREAT! You did an awesome job. I'm a new quilter so I've just mastered (kinda) the half square triangle. Lol. I'm not quite ready to tackle piecing. But one day....
Your aqua and orange is so perfect for these retro designs, Cynthia! Love seeing them all together. That last block is da bomb!
These look great !
gorgeous colours and fabric choices in this last one - they look fantastic together.
I just adore these blocks...they are totally amazing!!!! Can't wait to see it finished!
So darn cute!!!
I love your Betty block!!
Oh I LOVE it!!! Those blocks are all great!
gah!! I love it!!
Adorable! Your color scheme matches my kitchen. ;-)
I just love everything about this. Colors, the blocks, the retro feel of it. It is wonderful.
Love the color scheme in your gal's kitchen. :) I think the arm is fine, I didn't notice anything until you pointed it out!
Somehow I missed that this adorable sewalong was going on! Wow - thanks for the link to the pattern - LOVE your version, and I'm adding this to my list!
These are so cool! Love your color choices and the way all the blocks look together. Great job!
I really, really like this!
These blocks are all so impressive! I love the color scheme and can hardly wait to see your finished product.
Your Betty looks lovely and your blocks are all so nicely coordinated. I'm looking forward to seeing what you make with them. I still haven't decided what to do with mine. It was sure fun sewing along together!
Just perfect! You did a fabulous job and great choice on the colour scheme!
Love your blocks. Great color combination. I am working on the last two this week.
Very cool! I love the colors that you used!
Thanks for resharing this post! I love this pattern and the colors you chose for it. I had not visited the Quiet Play site before, but will definitely be checking out Kristy's patterns now.
This is super and is going to be a really fun reminder of "housework"! Or at least one aspect of it. That last block looks fiendishly difficult. I love the fabric colours you used.
Wonderful blocks... and what a nice idea to hang it in your kitchen. Lovely.
You just gotta love this project even if it is paper pieced! I LOVE it!
I have liked these blocks since I saw them but haven't made any. I like your color choices. Also, your blog name in great, I agree.
