Put me in with the latter group. I don't know why, but I paper pieced the four blocks that make up my quilt and when I tore the paper off one of the squares it got all wobbly. I've been putting off taking the paper off the other three to continue the quilt. I think it is going to have to be stitched down onto muslin to stabilize it. Gee, why didn't I do it on normal stabilizer to begin with? Duh. Well, once I'm over the hump with Mother's Day veil orders, I will just plunge in. My AAQI quilt needs finishing too. It's one of those weeks when I feel I am drowning in unfinished projects and will never come out from under. I guess the gloomy weather isn't helping either. But then again, if it were nice out, I'd be pining to be in the garden -- where there is MORE unfinished work!!!

Anyway, I've been thinking of a stress free no theme June -- or something simple for those of us who are having a nervous breakdown over May. Thoughts?
K, when I paper piece I have to increase my stitches/inch in order to pull off the paper more easily. It makes more perforations and therefore making it easier to pull away. Try that next time.
