The paper piecing mostly went better, I tried to be very aware of the seam allowances, yet still had issues and had to redo a couple.
I had a lot more trouble with the curve piecing for the nose of the airplane this time:

Despite some of the issues I had while making these blocks, they were worth it! Aren't they cute? I'm even thinking of adding some (very simple) embellishments...but we'll see. I'm anxious to get the back finished so I can baste the quilt already! Here are the two side by side to see the size difference:

Hoping for another productive day tomorrow!
Wow! They are great! You have a lot of patience.
ReplyDeleteI find curved piecing somewhat difficult too. I do love the airplanes! Is this going to be part of a quilt or a smaller item?
ReplyDeleteHi Renee! Your airplanes are beautiful! Do you make pillow or a quilt for your kids? x Teje
ReplyDeleteNice! Very fun blocks ;)
ReplyDeleteYou have to embellish with some red beads or sequins for the little lights! You planes are adorable even with all the fiddily piecing.
ReplyDeleteAwesome redo! Curved piecing can be so tricky! Your second one is so much smoother!
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen the airplane block this way and it's super cute! Great job!
Great blocks. And way to master that tight curve!
ReplyDeleteOh those pesky curves!! They are so beautiful when they are done though. I'm almost always drawn to projects that have curves in them. The plane is a very cute idea. Will check back in to see where you're going with it!
ReplyDeleteGreat airplanes! Do you use them in a quilt?
ReplyDeleteThey look great! I'd love to learn how to paper piece.
