Make It

This project was made from an independent Craftsy designer's pattern:
Piano Sonata - Paper Piecing »

Category: Quilting

Type of item: Home Decor

For: Other

Style: Traditional, Classic


What was your inspiration?

I got a few requests to make a piano and I play the piano myself. So it was an easy choice to make this one next for my music mini quilt.

What are you most proud of?

There are some small pieces in this pattern. I had to keep them small so the piano wouldnt look too boxy. I also minimized the amount of lining up I had to do when I sew sections together. I am happy with the final block.

Blogged @ http://www.whimsandfancies.com/piano-paper-piecing/

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

For the best result, take some time while making this block.

Absolutely astonishing! I love the way you've used blacks and greys to give perspective and shape. I was almost speechless when I first saw it and couldn't believe it was quilted!

I saw the grays at the quilt store, and thought that would be prefect for shading. Thank you so much :)

I think using all solids was very helpful, I was able to pick out shades that are very close to each other. Thank you so much :)
