Yes, the mess is worth it because the block is great. Sometimes you make a mess before good things get done :o)

Didn't think it would take all day and make such a mess, so glad to finish one block. Think I will be making this project smaller than first thought.

A very pretty block. Now that your first one is done, the rest will go much faster, so keep on movin along. Would love to see it all completed. :)

It IS lovely!! But I agree, paper piecing is hard when you first start out. I have done very little, but I'm sure experience is a good teacher!

That is very pretty and I love the looks of PP but after trying it once I decided not my thing.

It would make a fabulous center for a round robin swap.

It is a beautiful block and by the time you get it squared up it will be great. Paper piecing is like anything else the more you practice the better you get. I am doing a quilt with lots of curves in it for the first time and it is taking me a long time but I'm learning and it will be worth it. Keep going.
DON"T GIVE UP
