Help with paper piecing
Hello!
I have the EQ7 and I used it to do the hunter's star - paper piecing. I grouped it myself, and EQ numbered it, however, when I try to sew it together in that order, I'm having a hard time.
Here's what I have:

For the PP experts ... is there a different order that you can think of that would work? I've tried this way (with the more "white" than "dark" fabrics) and it's simply not working out.
Thanks very much

Are you using a design from the EQ library, or did you work up the design on your own? Your section #2 is not necessary, just makes more work.
This was the block I used in both my Hunter Star quilts.

And here is how it's numbered.

Hope this helps!

Thank you all ... Peckish - yes! I just realized when you showed your outline, how I did it wrong LOL
At least now, I don't have to reprint it all!
Thanks very much, I can now proceed LOL

Thanks, ladies, for this thread! Getting ready to embark on this quilt myself. I was going to use the pp'd blocks from quilterscache but will now have to check my EQ5! And when - not if I'm sure - I have problems I'll be back here!

Marion..you're making great progress on your quilt (from the other thread). Reason I came back to this thread - I looked in my EQ5 yesterday and see nothing in the library for this block. I can see the correct way to draw it from Peckish's diagram but I'm clueless as to sizes/dimensions. I was planning to use a total 12" block. Hmmm. Maybe I can figure it out from what I drew incorrectly yesterday.
