When my bundle arrived, I thought I was going to be making another project. I had everything cut out and ready to go but it sat unfinished. Mostly because I thought it was going to be the PERFECT project for these fabrics but this one is even BETTER!
This Hello mini quilt is fussy cut fun! The pattern is by Kate Basti and is a free paper piecing block! It is called Tall Tales Block and you can find it here!
The pages fabrics are from thrifted mens shirts. So far, that is the best fabrics I have found to make the pages really look like pages!
All of my blocks were pieced using Aurifil 50wt thread on my Bernina.
If you were not at Quilt Market, here are some photos of Susan's booth with all of her lovely fabrics!
Susan is also sharing a FREE PATTERN for you to get started making something!

Neat. I love books! I've not tried my hand at paper piecing. This is definitely something I must try because I continually see so many beautiful works of art working that method!
