I had a pretty free day yesterday so I was able to stay in my sewing room and work on this months paper pieced block from Carol Doak's 2012 BOM Mystery 

This is my favorite part of the whole quilting process.... working on the blocks.  Seeing each one come together so beautifully.  And paper piecing makes that process flawless.

Here's Junes block.  Dove In the Window.

 And this is May's block.

Once I decided I wanted to take part in Carol Doaks paper piecing I knew right away that I wanted to use the rest of these golds and black fabrics that I had leftover from the table runner I made a few weeks ago.  Her directions are for a two color quilt but I'm going to scrappy it up with these.
I'm definitely going to use all the blacks but since I plan to use the golds as all backgrounds those lightest ones may be too white.  I'll see as I go along.

I did the first block today and love the way it come out.  I just can't find anything wrong with paper-piecing.  Everything is just always so perfect.

I just ran across a new BOM this morning as I was blog hopping and checking emails.  


Carol Doak has a new 2012 BOM Mystery starting this month and will run for 11 months. 
 It's a two color mystery and geared to beginners.   ((this is a pic of her fabric choices and her block)) 


I think I'm going to work on this one since I do like to paper piece and I kinda like a good mystery.  So this combines both.   


And I've even got the just perfect fabrics in mind.   Should be fun!
