Here is my very first attempt at pp. It went together a lot easier than I thought. I almost made it to the end without my friend the grim ripper but did a couple of silly things :oops:
I am very happy with the end result and must say i thoroughly enjoyed the PP. So for anyone who hasnt tried it before give it a go!I enjoyed the precision of it and just following lines when sewing!The paper I used was just copy paper and came out fine as long as you use a very short stitch ) I used 1.5 stitch length. So thanks for this months BOM if it wasnt for this I probably still would have been scared of PP!

Yes, I made two of the January blocks. It was my Mother's idea. She thought if we made two a month, at the end of the year we would have enough for a larger quilt. Hopefully I can stay with it!!
:D :D :D :D

Thank you for your kind words. I made a lot of mistakes, at first, then it was like a light bulb turning on & I finally got the picture!! Don't be afraid to try it. It's easier than you might think it will be.
:D :D :D :D

So glad you tried PP... the colours are amazing... I am so thrilled to see everyone's blocks!!!! So many different colours by everyone... each one is so beautiful... Thanks for your encouragement to others about trying this... I'm sure other will try it now ...Big hug your way for a job well done!!!

I'm so glad you and your mom are sewing together. I love it when I can sew with my mum. It makes it even MORE special.
