I just found this thread - such beautiful blocks!! I actually signed up for this class at my LQS and start tonight. It is a monthly club. I have never paper pieced. Was a little bit worried about the one Amazon review that said some blocks have 60 pieces. That made me feel that for a first timer to paper piecing - I am in the wrong class! But then I figured, nothing ventured - nothing gained (and they assured me this class is for those who have never paper pieced to those brushing up on skills, etc). I have watched quite a few YouTube tutorials on this, so while 60 pieces seem a little daunting - it looks like one just needs to follow the process - and the result will be a wonderfully detailed block that couldn't be obtained otherwise.
I look forward to seeing the additional blocks everyone is working on - and posting some of my own once I get started.
