My white fabric was white on white and, of course, after checking all eight pieces realized the white was on the wrong side on three triangles. Rip out and start over but easier because my adjoining pieces were already cut. Despite a lot of work I did enjoy learning. By December I am going to be a wiz in pp.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Love seeing everyone's combination of fabrics - envy your talents in choosing choices of colors. thank you.

Snow came in and gave me an excuse to sew. I am doing 2 stars each month and I want to use only dark blues and whites. This was a challenge. Points are not exact and I did not finish pressing and squaring but I am happy with both of them.

Sooo - hopefully attempt number 4 will be a success!
What fun!!
Great work! I feel bad because so many had problems. I hope everyone keeps trying because paperpiecing is probably as close as one can get to perfect. :hunf: :XD:
