Ady - I thought this was a portrait of you!!!! :D

I love to paper piece but find ripping out the paper a pain, doing it on a foundation of muslin or vilene works really well, and avoids the problem of pulling out of shape when you are doing lots of angles such as mariners compass etc.

Its abit weird at first as you are sort of working back to front - but as you found once the penny drops - you will never look back!!

Well done, its gonna be a lovely lap quilt - AND I think you should start practising free motion, you will have great fun, Karla (Barnbum) is loving it now, and I have got the hang of it now...needs practice practice practice but its FUN!! :D
