Around the World quilt was last year’s BOM from Whole Circle Studio. I don’t have to wait each month for the new pattern because I can download all the patterns. I have completed 4 blocks so far. It took a while to find fabrics for all the blocks and then I changed my mind about some of the fabrics. I started with the smallest block (76 pieces) which was the airplane block (13″ square). It does take more pieces to make curved elements in the paper piecing.
Next I made the Rome Colosseum which also has curves for all the arches but I do like the colors that I chose for this block. The block size is about 10″ x 21″.
The London Bridge block was easier to piece because there were no curved sections. This block is the same size as the Rome block.
I also completed the Dubai block after I selected different fabrics for the whole block. This block was the easiest to complete of the the four blocks so far. This block is also 10″ x 21″. I chose not to put lettering on any of the blocks.
I am excited to keep working on this BOM of the month. I have switched some of the cities that I will be making and those blocks will be applique blocks.
Keep having fun sewing and quilting. Donna
