I don't like regular piecing enough to do the basics, like 4 patch and 9 patch. I might like the rail fence, but haven't tried it yet. I hated not have the seams match up, etc. I made a quilt from QFK and 2of their kits. Hated every minute of it. So I tried paper piecing and fell in love. Plus I must have a short attention span because I can't see myself doing a block over and over. So, I'm working on paper
piecing and doing samplers. I belong to a few BOM that require me to do some pieced blocks, but they are a trial for all the reasons mentioned above.
By the way never, never try to type with an active toddler on your lap. It takes twice as long 'cause the little darling keeps trying to help me...lol.
