I had always sworn that I would Never try paper piecing. Turned my nose up at least 100 patterns just because they were paper pieced. But I love those darn on-line challenges! There is one with the National Quilter's Circle that I began and I'll be darned it I don't like it after all! I was surprised at just how easy it is, once you get the orientation of the pieces correct. I am now on the last block, but I think I will be looking thru those patterns that I initially turned my nose up at! Here is a picture of my first 8 blocks on my design wall. The first was is actually incorrect, but I have decided that I like it so much I will quilt and frame it separately and keep it to "remember when I couldn't stand the idea of trying something new". Maybe it will give me the incentive to try the next thing I swore I would never do...Curved piecing!
