I made my block a couple days ago (actually posted it on the discussion thread by mistake) & my battery in the camera was all but out, so the colors turned out pinks...changed the batteries today & here's the correct picture. I love all the different blocks I've seen. I haven't done any paperpiecing in over 10 years, so it took awhile to get back into the groove. One thing others may find a help...I use a postcard on the folding line, fold it back, use my add a 1/4" ruler, trim. Do this for all before adding the next piece. Really helps with that postcard...makes sure your fold line is straight & has a lip to brace the ruler on for your trimming. I am not a big paperpiecing fan, but don't mind doing them occassionally. Let's see what Feb. brings..........

That is exactly what I do too Vicki.....and I am not a big fan of paper piecing either!

For those of you new to paper piecing, hang in there. It does get easier as you try each pattern. I have taken classes from Carol Doak (the paper piecer extraordinere) where I got excellent ideas and I still get confused and use Jack (the Ripper). Oh, well, here 'tis January finished --

I just LOVE your Snow Blossom block & the color combination that you chose to put together!! :D Your yellow fabric really pops, with your two shades of blue. What a great idea & look your block makes. Very well done. Welcome to the BOM for 2012.
:D :D :D :D
