Here is my block--not very good but done. I am not sure about this paper piecing! lol When I first learned pp a neighbor taught me and it was like this: "Just cut 2 large pieces of fabric, put them on this side and sew on the lines on this side." It was slap it on and sew. I had a hard time getting the fabric lined up right. There are a couple of things I learned since coming on this board:
1. Some one had put up a link to how to pp and what the lady did on the video is copied off an extra copy of the pattern. She used this to cut each piece and she used them to cut out her fabric adding on 1/4 seam allowance. I thought boy that makes sense! PP got easier for me then.
2. Judy talked earlier on this thread about when sewing on the fabric fold back on the line and sew next to the fold. Oh I liked that every better!!
I can't say they improved the looks of my pp but they made it easier.
Here is my block such as it is. I cut pieces 1 and 3 as one piece to make the background in black.
