Your blocks are bright and pretty. I started PPing last winter at this time. I joined two BOM's here. One was houses and the other stars. It snowed here all of January but I didn't mind it cause I was teaching myself to PP. Sometimes I felt like pulling out my hair but I kept at it. I use cheap copier paper and also the June Taylor & Carol Doak thinner papers. When you are away from it for awhile you need to take out the book and refresh your memory. Right now I'm making a wall hanging with house blocks, pine trees and heart blocks. It's in the book 101 Log Cabin Blocks by House of WHite Birches. Good luck and don't give up. It is fun to do.
