awww i'm sure you can turtle!! Hell i say if I can anyone else here can too! Ma magus I haven't had that problem but I did put the piece wrong side up or in the wrong spot quite a few times. Ya gotta be careful with frogging on paper piecing so ya don't rip the paper! I learned that a bunch of times today. Good news is I think the lesson finally stuck!


Aww thanks guys!!!!! I definitely boosted my ego with this one---I can piece and match up corners now!!

I LOVE that!! I'm half Danish--and it has a Danish feel/look to it. All that red and white. :D Boy--you're a quick learner!! No stopping you now!!

Ady!!! You did a TERRIFFIC JOB!! You go, girl. I've never tried paper piecing but I've seen how it is done and it looks fairly easy. However, I also hear that a lot of people have trouble or are afraid to try it. CONGRATULATIONS on your perfect block.

thanks jacq!! now i just gotta practice that free motion quilting. i find that scary but i wanna try it!! cripes i got the foot for it! minus well right? then maybe one day i can make something as purty as you have jacq!!

Your block is PERFECT! This will make a beautiful lap quilt! Do you want to put sashing between the blocks?

bj

Wow, kiddo! You did an excellent job. I love the block and the colors!

DreamXer

It looks fab! Love the colours! Can't wait to see your lap quilt all done! Will it have only this block or will you do a sampler? Did you have fun tearing all the paper out? :)

adyldrop

no i think i'd like to keep it without sashing so you can really see the pattern. Every other quilt i've done had sashing. Down with the sashing! haha! It'll just continue with the same block. i'm my mother's daughter. i love flying geese! Thanks for the votes of confidence!
I did enjoy the paper ripping janet! hehe! i cheated and lade sure i left it in around the edges so i can match each block up to one another!
