Paper piecing saved my sanity. When my husband of 41 years passed away I was needless to say in a pretty deep depression. A gal friend of mine talked me into taking a class on PP. She knew I needed to find something to do to keep myself busy. We had learned to quilt together many years ago. I have since made several pp blocks and will someday put them all together to make an orphaned block quilt. It has become my favorite way to quilt.
