Thread: All Day to do One paper pieced Block, What a mess.

Thought this will be lovely and went to work.
Didn't think it would take all day and make such a mess, so glad to finish one block. Think I will be making this project smaller than first thought.

was this worth it?

now to clean up before dinner.

YIKES! It can be messy and it is time consuming!

Paper piecing is a bit of work, but they come out so beautifully. Don't give up, you are off to a great start. It's beautiful

Oh I think so, it's lovely and you know what they say, the first one always takes the longest.

yikes, that is a messy work area! but the block turned out perfect. i'm sure the others will go faster.

After the first one, it should get easier! The block is beautiful!! I can make more of a mess without even trying!! :thumbup: :D :thumbup:

Its lovely. That "mess" looks like a pretty small price to pay. (My kids are small- even when my house is tidy it is often messier than that somewhere!)

Well it sure looks great.

Your block is terrific! I don't have the patience to do paper piecing.

I tried a paper piece block a few months back and ended up spending a lot of time on it, decided it wasn't my favorite way of quilting. I like your block tho.
