Here are many photos of the process of doing this crazy Judy Niemeyer "Hawaiian Star" quilt! I am loving it! I have added these for anyone who has never completed one of these foundation pieced quilts.
The back of a piece as I am taking off the foundation papers.
Piecing two sections together.
Another view, notice that I do pin as needed to keep the curve accurate.
This is the actual piecing of the outside borders. You have to kind of think backwards.
The piecing as I go on the foundation papers.
Sewing on the line. The dotted line is just where you line up your pieces.
Trim excess on each piece as you go.
Pressing out each piece as I go. You have rough edges that will be trimmed later.
A fully pieced section. I had to complete 16 of these bigger sections.
The finished sections front view untrimmed.
The section after trimming. Each one of these sections took a minimum of 36 minutes to complete.
My piecing area. I love my saddle stool and I adjusted the ironing board so that I could just turn and press. I placed everything within a reach to be able to go quicker.
It's all starting to come together. this is just the center section. I will post the compete pieced top hopefully by the end of this week, then it will be the excitement of the quilting. I can't hardly wait!
