The following link is for a BOM that will end soon, but the entire year is available. These paper pieced fruits are darling and worth saving for a cold day in January after the holidays.

I have come to realize that paper piecing is not for the faint of heart.

same here.........I've read and tried and read some more..........I cannot afford quilt guilds and lessons........I'll maybe try again next year :evil:

My DIL loves paper piecing. She says it works up quickly, and with 2 boys, 4 and 2, she doesn't have lots of time to quilt. For myslef, I can't keep straight, which side is which! I'll stick to piecing. :lol:

The website is gone now anyway.

The original website you sent is goine, but here is another that might be just as helpful to newbies like me who have lots of questions. :?:

I think this will do it ; wonderful job

Ruth,

You are a jewel. Thanks for sharing that link.

I see why anyone might get addicted to paper piecing if the seams and points are so precise. There are some patterns that really would do much better using this method.

I tried it on a few blocks. It takes getting use to. I will be doing more someday. I bought some embroidered baskets on line and will do the square within a square to do a quilt someday. I will try paper piecing and see if that will keep me lined up precisely.
