I highly recommend it to anyone who has not had PP success in the past. I think you'll be surprised with your results.

That's how I feel about PP. Once you get the hang of it, it is actually very very easy. Your block is fabulous. Great job

I just realized what I wrote. You all know that I was off to Paper Peice, I hope! Anyway, now I am excited. I only got this corner done. It took me forever, I had to rip out 2 seams, tried to repair one with scotch tape which gummed up my needle and caused my bobbin holder to turn, when the needle hit that and stopped my machine I got mad and threw it away. Took a break, came back, and dug it out of the trash can. I did not start over but I did finish the portion I was working on and ....whatta ya know...I think I got it! I will finish the block when I get back from Georgia on Friday! I know I can do this and I am so happy that you all challanged and encouraged me. I thank you from the bottom of my quilty heart!

After all that is looks great !!!! Keep at it. You'll just love PP more and more.

Ok everyone, I had to stop commenting individually or you would could tired of seeing my avatar. I'm way behind in looking at this thread so all my comments were running one after the other. You ALL did a fantastic job!!!!!!!! They are super. I am glad to see that all of you a little scared of the PP went ahead and did it. Now your next will be even easier and you'll probably say this is one of your favorite quilting methods. Great idea Sulabug for a BOM !!!! We all owe you great big hugs !!!!!!
