PP is so precise - you'll do great. Nothing to be scared of.
Well....not all my pieces were as large as they should have been. And I sewed a few with wrong sides together. And I had my angles going the wrong way on several....I'm just glad they are done. I will post some pics as soon as I get them off my camera and onto the computer.

I'm not thrilled with the one I thought would be easy. And the one that I thought would be a little tough was easier than I thought.

I tried it for the first time this week and it took a while for me to get it right. But I did and the results were good. I can't wait to do it again. Hang in there. Remember, practice makes perfect!

I waited for 3 years to try paper piecing, and am I ever sorry!!! I found it out it is 10 times easier than I thought, and now I like it.

Oh yes! I did about three practice blocks that were quite easy and messed them up in these exact ways. To me, I had to kind of think backwards and it took a few times to wrap my head around it.

I posted my PP blocks on a different thread. They are going in my Anniversary Sampler, so I put them in that thread. Blocks All Ways and Chinese Quilt Block
