..do you "really" enjoy this! I have never used my seam ripper as much in years as I have the last day and a half! I have to apologize to Candlequilter, I did down load her pattern and attempted to make her paper pieced block (attemped being the key word here). I have never paper pieced before and I readily admit....I did not do very well! I sewed, I ripped (I do know that you can only sew a paper pattern twice before it is in shreds! ask me how I know!) I made one, it was wonky, not to be discouraged I made another one...wonky too! I am nothing if not consistant! I have no idea what I am doing wrong..so I sewed the top quarters together, added a sashing, sewed the bottom together and added sashing and made a table runner! It doesn't look half bad if you don't try to match them up LOL Will practice free motion quilting on it...oh yes, I am free motion challenged too! So...just how long does it take to be able to paper piece...? Just wondering. :roll:
