It took me 2 nights to do this. A little tedious, but I must admit that I am impressed. My blocks are always a little screwy, a little off. I enjoyed making something that turned out the way it was supposed to.

I bought the first BOM block this week from my LQS and I haven't begun on it yet. There are all kinds of flying geese, triangles and points....and I am intimidated!

Edited to say this star isn't part of the BOM...that one is a civil war quilt and NOT paper pieced.

That's beautiful! You shouldn't be intimidated! Your points are fabulous! I haven't done PP yet as I'm intimidated as well! Just now getting out of my comfort zone of squares, onto triangles!! LOL!

That one is gorgeous!

That is beautiful.

WOW!! You did a wonderful job on this block :D:D:D

Great Job! Don't be intimidated with paper piecing - you'll never know how good you are at it until you try.

Wow! That's really neat.

You did a wonderful job on that block. I printed that pattern/instructions out on Saturday. I want to try it but I'm going to find a tutorial first.
I love your colors.

This is beautiful!!! Don't worry about PP it actually is really easy and the points turn out perfect!!

Enjoy :thumbup:

Beautiful!

Isn't it fun to have it work out great? I really like it, altho I have not done more than cards, except for one wall hanging.

Your block is beautiful.

Wow, that is beautiful. I love the colors and your points are perfect. Great job. I haven't tried PP but maybe someday.

WOW! :thumbup:

very nice

Very nice. Love your colors!

I think it is really cute!!!

You did yourself proud. Kudos to you.

That is beautiful and congratulations on getting your points so nicely matched. It is much easier doing this with PP and any block that has itsy bitsy pieces in it always gets PP'd here.

Good job!

Very pretty. I don't see a Civil War motif, but do see a square diamond with facets coming out each side and corner.

Now, I'm just asking. Even though I have been a quilter for many years, many people, such as you in your explanation OBM use initials to explain your method or whatever. I would love to see someone use all the letters that mean something compile them on a page and publish them, so we all could know what you are talking about UFO.

Very pretty! :)

Congratulations, looks great! Hope you go on to enjoy the versatility of PP.

Beautiful block and pattern. Great job! :thumbup:

Great job!

really great. I'm about ready to try it

As far as I'm concerned I would never (and no one else should either), consider making a block like that, unless it was paper pieced. As long as you will sew accurately on the line, you can't go wrong. Each section of the block will be the same and your block will come out perfect! This looks to take about an hour = 14 pieces in each 1/4 block. That's if you've chosen your fabric and cut it into strips already. This is pretty. You can be proud of yourself - it's OK.

That's really gorgeous. I just recently learned paper piecing. I am loving every second of it. Once I got my brain to function backwards, all well.

I hope to do this block very soon. I love your color combinations for it.

It is only tedious because it's your first time doing it. Once you get the hand of sewing on the reverse and trimming, it become second nature. It actually can be very relaxing because you "know" that points will meet where they belong, etc. etc.

Just do it, relax and enjoy. :D

This is your first PP block ? I'll take your beginner blocks any day in the week ! This is beautiful !

If you can make that block, you can do anything. Congratulations.

Pretty block, and you did a wonderful job! :)

If you can do the spikey in the block that is showing you will be able to do flying geese. Just follow directions.

wow what an awsome job!

Love it. It take awhile to get into P.P but once you do you will love the accuracy.

Awesome job!

Great fabrics in this beautiful block.

WONDERFUL!.... im imtimidated just looking at it. looks wonderful.

You did a wonderful job

I have done a little paper piecing. I love to see how precise they turn out. Great colors. Keep it up.
