I decided to give pp a whirl since I'm going to be sewing along with the Dear Jane sew along in January. I printed a couple of patterns off the internet.

The square in a square turned out ok. The sailboat......well......I reversed the background fabric and the sail fabric. And one of the pieces was too small.

A couple of questions:
How do you cut the right amount of fabric for each piece, do you just wing it, or is there some way to figure it out.

Also, when you cut your 1/4" seams, do you use a ruler and rotary cut, or just eyeball it and cut with a scissor?

I think I like paper piecing if I don't think about it too much. If I think too much, I confuse myself. :roll:
