First time paper piecing, help!
I decided to give paper piecing a try and my block is looking strange. I'm thinking it was my choice of fabrics. could someone give their opinion. Am I being to critical? They are suppose to look like budding flower and I think they look like sherbert drop in cone. Help please.

Nothing wrong with the technique, or the colors - but I think you'd like it better if there was more variance to the color value - meaning light to dark. If you convert the photo to black and white you'll see that most of your fabric selections will be the same grey tone (same "value). The only one that is different is the dark green on the left side of the bud.
Try another with more definition to the lights and darks and I think you'll like it just fine!!
Nice job!

piecing and block are fine. that is the way it is supposed to look, probably the colors that make you think something is wrong, try one with white background or lighter color and you will see the same block with different values and then keep going ,you are doing a great job.
