I haven't tried the ocean waves paper pieced. If this is your first attempt at PP, it does take some time to get your mind around it, anyway it did me. I swore , Never again, but alas I have done a couple more and it gets easier but I think I must dyslexic or something because it takes several squares before I get it. You've done a great job and I like the colors in the waves. A day for a top is not a long time. You should be proud of yourself for trying something new and for the way it turned out.
