I agree with those that stuck with it. I have paper pieced some blocks for a quilt, and as mentioned, all points are perfect, and it all goes together perfectly. However, it is time consuming. While at my lqs they were preparing for a shop hop, and each shop had to make all the blocks. The owner told me it was taking a day to make 1-2 blocks, she was frustrated, in that she had to get it done, but had so much other things to do as well.
I think sticking with it allows you to choose many more blocks. You may just want a few in a quilt. I took a course at the quilt festival from Pepper Cory. 1/2 the blocks were paper pieced and the other 1/2 were pieced. I am really glad I didn't let the paper piecing stop me from taking the course. By the way if you get a chance to take a class from her, I think you will like it. She is very professional, and comes well equipped to teach and help you succeed.
