On the Design Wall

Been working on some art quilts and 'Dear Jane' blocks lately. Trying my hands on new techniques( paper piecing, bias binding) that I never thought I would be interested in or enjoy doing but to my surprise, I actually enjoy myself very much and time just flies when I am working on them. The paper piecing was actually really fun. I have to say I really enjoy it and was looking for more designs to piece and already thinking about a new quilt that I could make entirely of paper piecing.

Below are two art quilts I am currently working on. I have two more to go. I had bought a series of four patterns at the quilt show couple years ago when I started quilting but when I got home and read the instructions and found out that it required paper piecing, I kinda chickened out cos I didn't know what that was or how to go about doing it and having to create your own bias binding was another stress factor there and I thought, wait, I had picked up quilting as a form of therapy and stress relief so I decided to set them aside until last year, I came upon them again and took them out but again they sat somewhere on the shelves until couple weeks ago, when I decided I had better get started on my Dear Jane blocks. So I forced myself to learn paper piecing as most Dear Jane are paper pieced. And I just happened to find these patterns again so.....tada I have not decided whether to add borders or how I will finish them. They are pretty small 15x15 so won't be hard to quilt. Actually looking forward to quilting them as I have not quilt for a few months. Holidays just seem to disrupt my routine and its always hard to get back to them.
