Ruby2shoes, beautiful job done! How fortunate that this board is kept alive by people who are so talented and willing to help. For a few years, I made my living as an illustrator and struggled with visualizing what the front of an object looked like when all I could see was the back. I mistakenly thought that I would be a whiz at the paper piecing. Wrong! A member of the quilting group I belong to mistakenly thought that she had taught me how. Wrong, again. I do admire all of you who have waded into what I see as a quagmire, then you turn mud into beauty.
