if your near your quilt shops you can always take your project in for advice, and I learned from Carol Doak's site and help from my LQS best of luck

I think you may have to sew those pieces together prior to sewing on the paper. I had that with a flower stem. Sewed the 3 pieces together that added as one piece.

Connecting Threads has a very good video tutorial on how to PP. That's how I learned.

Can you post a pic so we can see what you are looking at?

Thank you all. The block is finished, looks great and I never would have figured it out without your help.

Yeah!! So happy you were able to get it done! Can you post a picture? I'm sure we would all like to see it.

Here it is - still have to make the sashing and cornerstones. This is my test block to decide whether I will do a whole quilt or not.. Thanks again for your help. Who knew you had to sew those little center squares separately?? Not me.
I loved the quilt that someone (sorry, don't remember who) posted called Hummer Storm so though I might try to make one for myself. [ATTACH=CONFIG]332759[/ATTACH]

You almost made a snails trail block. I like it. A snails trail would have the four patch sewn in differently. The colors would line up black to black and white to white.

Carol Doak is the queen of PP! She very recently put a tutorial in her May newletter which you can find on her website. I hope this link works for you. http://www.caroldoak.com/weblog/?p=928
