I have done a lot of paper piecing. I enjoy the process. I have also just purchased and started using the creative grid mini pineapple ruler. It will make a 4-5 or 6" block. It took me some time to completely understand how to use the ruler but once my learning curve was over I felt it went to together much faster than paper piecing. It gives you the sizes to cut your fabric for each round. I am looking forward to using this ruler again.
