The Desperate Housewife’s Quilt Week 48 – Barbed Wire
Welcome to week 48 of the ‘The Desperate Housewife’s Quilt’. Todays block is about Foundation Pieceing. Remember, this is not a quilt-a-long. Just follow the blog every week and pick and choose which blocks you would like to make. I will be injecting some uniqueness into traditional blocks, applique, three dimensional, crazy and thread-art blocks. If you make a block please post it on the Flickr group for everyone to enjoy. Also, I have this nifty button under each post that allows you to save the post as a PDF.

Barbed Wire
In our life’s journey, we often get our selves caught on barbed wire and rip a hole in our soul.

I have never done a paper pieced or foundation pieced (if different) do you know of a good tutorial on this?

Fabulous block, Jane and I agree with your comment. Some-one wrapped emotional barbed wire around me for a number of years but I have now cut through this entrapment and feel free for the first time in years. I think I'll make this block to celebrate my release.
