Hi
This is Linda from SC ...am new at quilting but am sooo excited about getting started with first quilt project. I began my journey with paper piecing because this is the way I remember my mother doing it! I am having trouble with the tiny odd angle pieces and I'm so frustrated. I started with a block for an old school house and it has several adjoining pieces that connect to each other and all are at very odd angles. Any help...suggestions for how I might piece these small pieces. I've ripped out three times and I'm to stubborn to put aside and quit. Thanks for any ideas. This is my first posting so I hope I did this right!!

You might want to go to www.quilterscache.com and do her introduction to paper piecing. It is annoying when those stupid pieces flip in unexpected directions.
