Oh ... I know exactly how you feel. I can make blocks I never ever would have thought of doing. It was life changing .. that first block that had 120 pieces for a 12 inch block.... and it came out perfect. I think I just stared at it for week .. just could not believe I really did it.
Have you gotten a copy of Carol Doaks 50 fabulous paper pieced stars? It is the most used book in my personal library. HIGHLY recommend it.
