Wisconsin Barn Blocks, #18 Cedar Bend Star

Cedar Bend Star was one of the first barn blocks that I got to see when I went out with Jen one Sunday to take pictures. It's just so exciting to be driving along and suddenly spot one of the barns. The blocks are huge in person.

Wisconsin Barn Blocks, #13 Cornucopia

Cornucopia was such a fun and easy block to put together. I did this one during one of our Friday night sews at the quilt shop.

Wisconsin Barn Blocks, #12 Blazing Star

Blazing Star is another block where the colors on my picture just don't do it justice. This is the first block where I decided after I took all kinds of pictures that I needed to take the paper off the back. Once I did that everything laid out nice and flat and then I squared it up and it's really pretty. Another pretty easy block to do and all the points come out so nice.

Wisconsin Barn Blocks, #11 Swing on a Star

I had so much fun making this block. There is just something about it's colors that I really like. They are more brilliant in person. I had a bit of trouble on some of my seams so this is one that I've marked to remake since I do have two places I'm not that happy with.

Wisconsin Barn Block, #10 Saw Tooth 16 Patch

I've been just moving along working on these barn blocks. I'm the official tester for Jen's patterns and I never thought I would admit it but I'm really enjoying Paper Piecing. It really is alot easier than I ever thought it would be. So, here is the latest one and it was so much fun to make. I love the colors and it just reminds me of sunshine. If you like this block why don't you join us in making the Wisconsin Barn Blocks, they aren't hard at all. http://www.cre8tivequilter.blogspot.com/ Click on the link and that will take you directly to Jen's blog and all the barn blocks that we've done so far.

Wisconsin Barn Blocks, Block #9 Star Puzzle

I've been really busy lately with of all things Paper Piecing. I'm really into it now with all of these barn blocks. I'm the unofficial tester for Jen's blocks. I have to confess I made this block last week and have been stalking her waiting for her to put it up this morning. I was on really late last night and I waited and waited for her to post it. Finally I gave up and went to bed. But here is this weeks block in all it's glory. Once you get going on these you realize how easy they are. I just go step by step. I have found they lay much nicer for pictures if you take the paper off the back. So if some of my are a little out of shape looking I haven't taken their paper off yet. From now on I'm going to do this right after making the block or once we come to the end it will be overwhelming to do. So here it is the Star Puzzle from Green County.

Wisconsin Barn Blocks, BEARS PAW

Well, I did it I finished the Bears Paw from Walworth County. I did all 109 tiny pieces in a block that is 6 inches. Now I figure I can take on any paper piecing. It really wasn't all that hard just took some time to sew. The colors are really pretty together just a little off in the picture. Now on to easier blocks.
