Welcome to this weeks installment of Paper Piecing Monday. This week I add another block to my grey/bright sampler quilt from Julie at 627handworks. May I present my version of Marley…
Now I am not sure that the scrappy approach worked with this pattern. I think if I was to do it again I would go with a single fabric for the back ground – just so the colour popped more.
I do love this block. It is different from my usual stars and I think that this take on flying geese is really quit fun. You can find the free Marley paper piecing pattern here. I am really loving Julie’s patterns and so excited to try Garfunkel.
Just for fun I am linking up with “Let’s get Acquainted” which is being hosted this week at Heart of Charnwood.

What a fun block! I have been slowly collecting/hoarding various greys for a grey quilt. Someday I’ll get to it! You have some very nice greys in your stash.
Grey is such a fabulous neutral. It makes nearly all colours really pop. I must admit my grey stash is taking a hit but it is a good excuse to buy more.
this is adorable! i love the scrappy background, but i hope you make another one so that i can oohhhh and ahhhhh. love the green!
I was going to make another one immediately then Julie released another block pattern. I am now itching to make it, so the re-make is on the back burner, for now. Ashley, you could always give it a try!
So glad you made this – I really like the color combo! FYI – I *just* updated the Garfunkel PDF, I had some numbers in reverse.
Thanks for the heads up. I am SOOO excited to make Garfunkel.
what an awesome block. the gray with that green is fabulous! that is my absolute favorite color and it just pops against the gray!

Wow, what tiny little triangles!! I’ve only tried paper piecing once and I still get a little jumpy when I see patterns like this one. Looks fantastic, even with the scrapy. 🙂
hmmmm. I think my comment was lost – or they are moderated? Now if I can only remember what the heck I was saying! I’m sure it goes something like this – ACK! SUCH SMALL PIECES. Beautiful! 🙂
Sorry… that was my fault. I have moderation on. Honestly the pieces are not too small – my Tardis block had tiny tiny pieces.
What a beautiful block. I love the colour combination too. Thanks for sharing.
Cool block! I am loving grey and green together at the moment!
I really like this block. The scrappy greys are beautiful! Thanks for stopping by my blog. Tried t reply but you came up as no reply : (
The no reply is not on purpose. It seems WordPress and blogger do not like each other. Thanks for stopping by despite my no-reply status.
Yeah, you are right , this is a great pattern and it Looks fantastic with your fabrics!
Looks awesome! I still haven’t tried this one yet but it’s on my list! Love your fabrics for this one!
I think the mixed greys in the background make the greens look really lush, like rainforest-y. Your photo actually struck me as I was scrolling through my feed earlier today, and I remembered to come back! They might pop more on a single background, but…why? when you could go scrappy?
I do love me some scrappy. I struggled with the same contrast issue with my green and grey quilt that I made earlier this year. I think my preference is for really strong contrast.
It is a great block! I actually like the scapiness. It might show the design more with two fabrics as you said, but I really like this version. Really lovely.
Love the block, v cute and a really good range of shades in it! Thx for linking up :o)
great block, great colors, great blog!
