Here you go, you persistant quilters!! :thumbup:
This single 12 inch block(actually 12 1/2 unfinished) is a great exercise in paper piecing. Can't you just picture a QUILT of different shades of one color?? OR a scrappy look?? OR even black, greys and white?? What about a BLACK background??

Let me read your feedback to tell me you are still with us! :D

Boy, are you quick!
btw, this looks like a great block, now to decide on the colors for it!

Now I am going to have to kick someone off the desktop so I can print this out! :lol:

I think it's time for a new printer, with wireless ability, just for me.

Thank you so much for going on with the block challenge!
I love this block. It would make a beautiful quilt.

Can we just jump in and try this one even if we haven't done the other challenges? I didn't see any of the previous challenges.

Thank you, Kate - it seems to be a block with many possibilities!
aw come on, contrary! You will really like it - it is a basic paper piecing and imagine the quilt it would make!
marymc - good if you are scared, and think how PROUD you will be to see your creation! We can only grow when we tackle something out of our comfort zone!
SURE Butterfly! There are NO quilt police here! It is YOUR block. Check out the previous blocks - http://www.quiltingboard.com/t-51732-1.htm

Well this was a good lesson in what not to do. I printed paper piecing patterns at work but forgot the directions so I had to keep the computer on with directions showing. (no printer at home) Computer on main level, sewing room upstairs, countless trips up and down. Heat wave, high humidity and no A/C, sewing room felt like a sweat shop. Only 1 previous paper piece attempt (3rd block challenge). I was determined to do this on my day off. corners don't match, fabric cut short in places, print going in several directions, and I'm not crazy about fabric but I wanted to continue with previous challenge blocks. I think I will make a second attempt at this one!

ya know marymc, the colors are good. It is not a bad block - alot of times we are more critical of ourselves. You are getting the feeling of the paper piecing and learning - I guarantee that your NEXT caned seat will improve. Did you stitch RIGHT ON the lines? Keep it up and you will be a pro!
