I just finished my first attempt at paper piecing and am not sure if I like the process or not. I did learn several things - 1. It is a messy process, scraps and thread everywhere 2. There is so much back and forth between sewing machine, ironing board and cutting mat 3. the hardest part is the first two pieces 4. this pattern is not good for prints.

With that all said, I do like the way the practice block turned out (future pot holder) and will buy fabric to make the quilt. But there will definitely need to be some changes - gonna buy a wooden tv tray to set beside my sewing machine to use small iron and small cutting mat - otherwise I am back and forth between 3 different rooms. Just can't get anything accomplished that way!

Now it's off, with pattern in hand, to buy fabric!
