Great Explananations,
EParys!
CheladaMama ... Sorry, I was the one who got you lost on "PPing"!
PPing is great for getting perfect points and precise sizing.
Here's where and how I started with PPing.
https://www.quilterscache.com/StartQ...tingthree.html
I started by making four of this block. Then put them together for a Mug Rug.
This site is a great resource for both PP blocks, pieced blocks and lots more!
Keep in mind there are lots of different ways to do PPing, just as there are for most things in quilting .... and life!!
As you go along, pick up a bit from this person, that blog, the Quilting Board, YouTube, or wherever ... and develop your own twists, doing what works best for you!
Good Luck!
