I love pp, string piecing, regular piecing, piecing makes me happy. Just finished a log cabin with recyled blue jeans. I'll post a pic when I get it quilted.

I agree with this, I'm new to it, but I do love it.

Amen to that!

I really don't have a desire to do PP. I do want to make a crumb quilt, I already have a long list. Oh well, maybe someday.

Love PP!
I use the freezer paper method when doing it, makes it easier for me. So many things can be created using this method, and yes some of them are made up of a gazzilion pieces, but there is no exacting cutting involved so they go together fairly quickly and the results are beautiful!

I'm with you guys that love PP. I also love regular piecing and most anything that is stitching away on my machine. Using freezer paper to PP really gives nice results. :lol:

Chain piecing can help, you get a piece figured out and repeat it while it is still fresh in your mind :D:D:D

When I have taught this, I tell people to ignore the front of the foundation...it is just a sewing tool...the back is where all of the piecing is going on :wink: and back there it is being pieced together like any other block...

Print out a couple of extra block foundations...outline the block on the back side of the paper...holding it up to a light source while tracing, and use that as your guide. Write on it, noting which fabric goes where and again, ignore the front side.
Cut out the individual pieces of the second extra copy, put an X on the back and use them as cutting templates, lay them X side up on top of the right side of your fabric, add a 3/8" seam allowance all of the way around. When you get more comfortable with PP you can go to a 1/4" around each piece. Cut out all of your pieces, attach the template to them with a binder clip, start chain piecing :D:D:D

Well here is what I just finished. I now call PP sew and rip! :lol: :lol:

I'm happy with these tho.

And this is exactly why I am so scared to even try it. :-D I would love to enjoy it but am afraid that I will despise it. Make sense? There are some gorgeous PP Patterns out here. Sorry you aren't having fun with it.

Hey! I think they look fantastic!!! Good job!

I think that paper piecing takes the right mind set and the right tools to make it easier. I am doing a paper pieced quilt of trees and it is 12 trees 4 corners and 18 border pieces all paper pieced. My whole quilting group is doing the same one. We use a printable paper piecing paper, and also use an add a quarter ruler. But i think you did a great job. I would just keep practicing.
