Well, first of all, paper piecing is not as intimidating as you may think. Have you tried it? It can be very confusing at first, but if you practice a bit (say, make 4 or 5 blocks with large pieces so you get the feel of it), you should begin to feel more comfortable. I just did 4 blocks paper pieced for a doll quilt, and I really was enjoying it by the time I got done. Go Google paper piecing tutorial, or check out the ones on this board, and try using their good tips and instructions. Don't give up... this is a fun skill to learn, and the results are just wonderful!!
