I tried traditional foundation piecing (the one with sewing through the paper) once. Hated it. With a passion.
I'm with Salmonsweet; I tried the 'regular' method of pp and was ready to try something else when I learned the method of sewing beside the folded paper and not through it. What a difference!! Now I LOVE paperpiecing.

I'll try to attach a pic of a wall hanging I did with a lot of pp blocks in it. Some of them I found on the web, others I designed myself. I had so much fun with this; the blocks depict all the birds/animals you might see in my backyard habitat. It hangs on our wall now so I can still enjoy the habitat in the winter when it's too cold to be out there.
