I never got into paper piecing and you have just given me another reason to forget about it. I can make my sewing room floor look like that without pp. I would make this the center of a strip quit and make it easy on yourself.

PP isn't my thing, but I LOVE your block! Did you get the pattern online by any chance? If so, mind sharing where?

If you have never done paper piecing, it can be very daunting at the beginning. I had to do 3 projects with it before I even started feeling like I could do it OK, let alone well.

Keep at it. As your brain grasps the "flipping" technique, you'll get better at it. I still take far longer than lots of other people I know to do a block. But I LOVE how the lines always come out perfectly straight and the intersections are such sharp perfect angles.

Don't give up....it gets better!!

I think it is very pretty. I have never ventured to the paper piecing myself. I always thought it would be too hard.
