[quote=bstanbro]Do you know what bamboozle means? Or is that something I made up?
Anyway . . . I bought this pattern at a quilt show.

I'm hoping that link will let you see the large version of the picture. It is paper pieced, and I cannot for the life of me get the sun pieces to lie flat. I've done paper-pieced circles before (Statue of Liberty style). When I've done those, I've done a quarter of the circle and then sewn the four quarters together. This is like that, but the suns are sort of stretched out so that the finished quarter is rectangle shaped instead of square like the ones I've done before. I've tried all different ways of pinning it, and I simply cannot (after making five of these) get the suns to lie flat.
Ok I'm back again, I went to the Stitch in Quilt site and where they have this pattern for sell they have this added on I do not know if you had seen it or not but thought I would pass it on to you.
*Please note that we have corrections to this pattern: You should cut your strips 4 1/4" rather than 3 3/4" wide.
Also, when attaching the arc centers, you should clip the inside of the pieced arc, not the outside of the arc center.
I hope this helps what has happened to you please let us know this looks really neat, and I love paper piecing.
