I applaud you patience piecing over 5500 snippits of fabric.
It is just stunning! BRAVO!!!

For anyone that is hand piecing Dear Jane I have a good tip. Take a piece of cardboard about 10" by 12" and cover it with flannel. This will be your mini flannel board to arrange your pieces before sewing. And they don't get mixed up so bad. I cut and place them as I go and there is no confusion. I hope this helps. :)

Rhue..thats a fabulous idea...the pieces to that tri gives me the shudders when I think about hand piecing it... :lol:

I tried paper piecing and to me its a nightmare. I enjoy hand piecing. And its so fulfilling when I see it completed.

Yes, you're right...it is fullfilling when its done. I love to hand piece and hand quilt...(my hands don't care for it:roll:) but these pieces are soo tiny that I'm afraid the only way I can accomplish this is to PP. You are soo extremely talented with all your hand work Rhue.----sorry Lesley for highjacking your thread.. :oops:
