The first time I paper pieced I said the same thing, about 12 years ago. I hated it! Wasted a lot of fabric, swore, never again.... Now, it is one of my favorite techniques and I do a lot of it! I learned to not waste so much fabric and also learned I can print ( copy) designs onto lightweight muslin or interfacing ( foundation piecing then I don't have to remove papers. It did take me two or three years after that first time before I tried it again, I saw a fabulous ( celebration star) by Carol Doak and wanted to make it, I visited her site, found lots of beginner help, how to cut fabrics to avoid waste...before long I was hooked! Your quilt turned out lovely. Never say never, you never know what may change in the future
