I've been toying with learning paper piecing for a long time and, with the encouragement of QuiltE, plus a sale on Carol Doak's class on Craftsy, I took the plunge this week.
This morning I made my very first paper pieced block, then I made its mirror image. Next, combine the two of them into my very first mug rug. This is the front of my bird of paradise meets the colourful sea mug rug.

And this is the back.

I had issues with the binding and I never have issues with binding. Maybe because this piece was important to me. That is usually the case. The more you fret, the worse it gets.
Still, I'm pleased.
And yes, QuiltE, there will be more paper piecing in my future. Just not likely the near future.
