Welcome to another edition of Paper Piecing Monday. On the weekend I found the perfect layout of my current sampler blocks and I am very excited. The pattern uses just 10 blocks so I am nearing the end of this colour way. But before we say good-bye there is a block or two to do…
The block is Julie at 627handworks “Global Concept” paper piecing pattern. You can find the free pattern here. As with all of Julie’s patterns there are so many ways this block can be interpreted. I went with the light grey star in the center after toying with the idea of using the light blue fabrics in the center piece. I am loving how it finished up.
The block takes 35 pieces and is one of the least complex of Julie’s patterns, not that you can tell by the finished block. Using all scrap pieces to make my “Global Concept” added a complexity to it, which I love.
More music inspired paper piecing next week…
WOMBAT QUILTS 
Officially a WQ groupie. I think your gray+bursts of color is going to have to be our do.Good inspiration for September 😉
Too funny, I am pulling my hair out at the moment looking for a block/inspiration for our do.Good.Stitches group. I have only just joined the group and I am Quilter in October. Panic is setting in. Does it get easier?
I love your paper pieced blocks. So pretty!!
that is beautiful –I could see this pattern in a rainbow effect also
Ohh I love the idea of doing it with rainbow colours. It would look so cool.
So pretty! The blue just pops!
Looks awesome! I’m just loving all your fabric picks for these blocks!
Hoping to give this one a try this week!
Awesome fabric choices for this great block! Love the blue against the gray!
Will be bummed when you are done with these, love them!!!
I like how fast this one sews up! Love your colors mixed with gray. Can’t wait to see the finished top!
What can I say Cath ……your a whizz with colour and I love the block. Amazing……….!! I love when I open up this blog to see what delights you have created. Thanks so much for sharing.
Love how this one looks! Beautiful fabric choices as always!
Because of the colours you’ve chosen, this block has a slight 3D effect. It appears to bulge out in the centre, like an aerial view of a mountain top.
It’s so beautiful! Excellent color/fabric choices!
You’re making me fall in love with the idea of paper piecing, one Monday at a time.
That is my cunning plan. Come on join the dark/paper side.
You’ve done it again! I’m sooo looking forward to seeing these all together.

I am glad you are giving paper piecing a go. I really do love it – even the final bit of pulling the paper off I find relaxing and a little therapeutic. Please et me know when you ave some blocks done so I can see what you are creating.
