Love Paper Piecing! I think you either love or hate it. I loved it right off the bat.

I LOVE PP! I taught a class in it at the hospital where I work. We had a co-worker that passed away from cancer, so made this quilt in her memory. "Cathy's Quilt" was raffled off and we made $1,000 to donate to the ACS. Teaching the class was challenging as the majority of the participants had never made a quilt before :? But it was a lot of fun, also. :D The gal in the picture was the lucky winner - a nurse who was also the best friend of Cathy. (I think she bought the most tickets!) She later donated the quilt to the family of the deceased. :thumbup:
P.S. My avatar is totally PP'd also |
It's not for everyone. I end up wasting as much fabric as I use when doing pp.

I have only done it once and hated it. What a waste of fabric and you dont get the joy of watching a block go togather.
If it was a very hard to piece block I would use it but it would have to be something I loved so much that I had to do it. Not to mention the waste of paper also. |
I tryed it ounce. Have to try it again.

What a beautiful quilt you all made!
I love PP, and the more I do it, the better I get. I've found that ripping out only happens to me if I try to put too small of a piece of fabric on. The economy mode kicks in. We all like something different, so find your nitch and bloom! |

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! This is definitely my way to go. |
I've never tried PP. Always thought it would be easier than regular piecing and with less mistakes. Now you've got me wondering.

love it, love it, love it........can't get near enough of it !!!!!!!!!!!
I want to do a small violet wall hanging and am looking for a pattern.. My DIL's mother just moved to NJ and I wanted to welcome her with the state's flower.. I want it small but not too small..(does that make sense).for her bedroom. I have one small pattern.if anyone has a bit larger one, can you let me know..... As I have mentioned before, those "add a 1/4" ruler" are the best and make a world of difference in the trimming....... actually, there is no trimming after, all is done before sewing on the line......... they're GRRRRRREATTTTTTTTTT ! thanks so much.
