I thought I would share the progress I am making on my Mom's quilt. This is my first paper piecing project. I didn't have a pattern to do this, so drafted from scratch.

I've been taking so long to do it - not because of its complexity, but because mentally I think it's above of what I am capable of. Can't begin to tell you how many seams have been ripped (yes, even with paper piecing). Mainly because I've been lining up (well trying to) the strips in the fabric.

As you can see I haven't cut out the pieces for the center yet.

It is going to be beautiful. Keep going!

Kiwi, I love it!! Just beautiful- thanks for sharing :D
Drafting scares the heck out of me! :D Looks like you know just how to do it right!! :thumbup:

It's already stunning! Keep on going and learning and experimenting! Your designing ability is super! Love to see your progress!

Lots of work. Nice job.

I could never tell from looking at it that you were having a hard time with it. It is going to be absolutely beautiful.

Can't wait to see the progress.

This is wonderful. You are so talented to be able to do that without a pattern. Look forward to seeing moe progress as you go along. The colors are great.
