LucyMae............I know you can do it!! Just give it a try & be relaxed while doing so. You might want to do the practice part first. I will be anxiously waiting for you to post a picture of your finished block!!

Lucymae,

If you follow the directions and go by the numbers you'll find you'll love PP! It's really quit addicting! This church is easy, it gives you options to where the sky is the limit on how to "build" and decorate!! Good Luck and Enjoy!!

I started last night and am enjoying making my first pp block! I ripped out twice and bled once ( too close to the rotary blade :oops: ) but the fun continues. Hope to finish soon and picture will follow.

You are 2 rip outs ahead of me LOL Printer ran out of ink this week arrgh! Finally got to Staples today & I think I have the pattern sheets consistent after many adjustments ~ that 1/16" really does make a difference. We'll see what tomorrow brings as I start construction again.

Ouch! Dorinda! This was my first pp project too. Had to rip out. My mind would wander and forget the process! But thought it was fun all and all. I want to appliqué a tree on my block and then will post a pic. Then on to the next one!

Here we go. My first attempt at paper piecing. Boy, is it ever different, felt like I was doing everything backwards to any other type of sewing I've done! After a few bad starts, it turned out not too badly, although I can see a couple places that aren't perfect by any means. I did do the door section twice, as I finished the first one and decided I didn't like the door colour, so this is the second set. Still not sure whether to do a cross or something else over the door, it still looks a little plain to me.
