I have finally cracked and started a new project. I had the Camelot pattern for a while, but wanted to finish a couple of UFOs first before indulging. Here's my first hand pieced block.
Then I made this paper pieced block for a charity quilt our Tuesday group is putting together (pattern can be found here). The idea is that each month one of the members chooses a block and preferably a new technique to teach the ladies who are new to quilting. Anybody who is interested can sew along.
For July I sewed this block for the Hasenbach Challenge; it's rather small, only 6 by 6 inches,
as well as this block, which isn't a challenge block, but will be include in my winter quilt.

All the blocks I've made so far.
I hope your week is going well.

Oooh I too am tempted by Camelot, for now I will enjoy watching yours. Love the blocks your winter quilt is going to be amazing. xo
Some beauties there. I have had the Camelot pattern for quite some time and just have not got to it. I look forward to seeing yours grow!
Beautiful blocks and your winter quilt is going to be fabulous.
I´ll follow your progress on Camelot quilt.Happy sewing!
I received my copy of Camelot last week and it is sitting there staring at me. I have to get a couple of other projects out of the way first.
Hi, Vreni,
wounderful blocks have you sewed. I like the motivs from the winterquilt too, but I must sew it in the winter :-)

PS: sorry for my english...
Your winter blocks look great together. I'm slowly working on a King George quilt, which is similar in nature to Camelot. They are fun (though complicated) blocks to do.
Great blocks.
Hallo Vreni,
Deine Hasenbach Blöcke sehen zusammen super aus!
Ich wünsch Dir viel Spaß beim Nähen in Deiner PW Gruppe mir gefällt euer Projekt jeden Monat einen neuen Block zu "lernen" und Dein runder Block sieht schön, aber auch sehr aufwändig aus.
LG

Your winter quilt is sure beautiful. I look forward to seeing it all sewn and quilted. Absolutely love the blue star block. Great fabrics. Enjoy your daughter's visit. I know what you mean about not getting down to sew with company. My daughter and her family moved in a year ago and I don't think I've spent much time at my machine since they moved in!
Love the colours in your Camelot block. Those cute houses with snow on the roof look awesome.
Oh I love your winter blocks, they look so great together. The Camelot quilt is a beautiful pattern, you've made a good start.
Your Camelot block is perfection, Vreni! That center couldn't be more accurate. The fabrics look like something from Jenny Beyer. As for your winter blocks... well, all I can say is charming. It's evident there's a lot of paper-piecing in each of those little squares. Your fabric selections are beautiful. Do enjoy your daughter's visit. As the years seem to be rushing by, that time spent together is precious.
Beautiful blocks. I loved it!
LG

Hallo Vreni,
die Winterblöcke sehen sehr toll aus, und das ohne echte "Winter"-Vorlage :)
Den Block nähe ich im August und kann schon mal mir eine Anregung bezügl. der Gestaltung holen.
Der Handgenähte runde Block ist schon eine ordentliche Aufgabe. Prima, wenn es dann gelingt.
Viele sonnige Grüße
Leonore
Liebe Vreni
das sind sehr schöne Blöcke für deine Gruppe.
Und deine Hasenbachidee mit den Tannen. Klasse.
Ich habe noch gar keinen Plan, wie ich das zusammensetzen will. Ich glaube, ich mach die Sterne gar nicht. Mal schauen, es ist ja noch zu heiß, um sich über den Winter Gedanken zu machen.
Ganz liebe Wochenendgrüße
Iris
Hallo Vreni,
deine Blöcke zur Challenge mit Schnee sehen auch mitten im Sommer toll aus, auch deine neuen Blöcke gefallen mir sehr gut.
Liebe Grüße und ein schönes Wochenende! Petra
Wow Vreni, what great blocks!
What a great start to your Camelot Quilt Vreni and your paper piecing project is looking wonderful. Keep up the good work. Have fun with your visitors..
Oooh Vreni -- I love the Camelot quilt -- I can't wait to see your progress. Loving those winter blocks -- that's going to be a cute quilt. Hope you're having fun with your daughter!
Hallo Vreni,
Deine Winterlandschaft sieht einfach toll aus, gefällt mir sehr gut.
Ich werde im September auch bei dieser Challenge teilnehmen. Liebe Grüsse aus Italien
