What do you think?

You have the yellow and warm colors down pat. Personally, I love the center block. I don't think it has to all be yellow and those flowers scream sunshine to me. But, I would change the two outer colors. I don't like the green or the green floral outside. Since the only other floral is in the center, it seems to take away from it. I would try something in the tan/brown family. Just my opinion, no darts or knives please. I really like the PP.

I love the block but to be honest, I don't care for the outside border fabric that is light colored pattened. I think it does not go well with the other fabrics. As far as paper piecing, it takes a while to get the hang of it, but keep going, it's so worth it in the end. I love it now but at first I thought I would never get it right. Start with something very simple.

Overall I think you are off to a good start. At least you haven't given up. I have to do PP when I am in the "zone." I also cut my strips wider than the directions, sew and trim. Keep the faith.
