My blogger friend at knitNkwilt posted about an interesting paper-pieced block called Indian Summer. There’s a free downloadable pattern on Craftsy.com. I like paper piecing for small projects and the 12-inch block plus a 2-inch border makes a piece that is perfect for my mini-rack….
….for two separate spots in my kitchen…..
…and for what we used to call a “stand cover” or table mat….
I was able to reduce my bags of black, white and red scraps a bit and have two pieces that will get a lot of use.
LILLIAN'S CUPBOARD 
I really like these. It’s amazing the different looks you’ve got and really think the block is cute under the apples.
I like your versions, and am glad it was you making three of them and not me. 🙂
Oh, I liked the red one and then I saw the black one! These look great. There’s no way I’d make that block without paper-piecing, that’s for sure! Great job.
These are beautiful blocks, very interesting and looks great in both colorways.
The red version is darling. I am going to gave to jake this block too.
Very, VERY pretty Lillian! I love the red but the black & white is striking, too.
Well done! I am going to try to make one soon. Thanks for the link.
Those are so pretty! Someday I want to learn to do that.
I love both of the quilt blocks, Lillian! I may have to try these this winter. Thanks for sharing the link.
Oh my, Lillian! You made TWO of those… wow! Not sure which one I like best but I do like them both. I’m sure you’ll enjoy using those… they look great in your kitchen!
Block reminds me of “Card Trick” which can be a doozie to piece — paper piecing would certainly make it easier. Like them all but the first red one is very striking.
These are delightful and also love the way you’ve paired them with some of your interesting finds – my favourite is that sweet Scottie dog!
Very lovely! I like the way you did this. Thank you for sharing. Beautiful. 😀
So pretty!
Very striking! And i’m reminded that I have made only one paper-pieced block–I keep forgetting about that project.
I missed this one when you posted it, Lillian. These are gorgeous! Thank you for the link to the pattern, too.
