I simply MUST learn to paper piece!

Another big WOW from this California quilter who is just happy
when seams match reasonably well.

Yes! I've never machine quilted b4. Prefer the hand work, so relaxing. Yes, I couldn't find a pattern for this size DWR so drew my own. My hand applique in those days wasn't too good, but the quilt shows up pretty! :wink: Sure glad you guys can't see the stitches! My first log cabin took 7 years, but I finished it. All paperpieced. Know what you mean by "many" yrs in completing a quilt! Your work is such an inspiration to us. We are so happy you are posting lots for us to see. Thank you for this! They are all extremely well done! :wink:

This is absolutely gorgeous, a real work of art. Beautiful piecing and a fabulous choice of colors. Love your description "Another insane piecing project."

Paper piecing isn't at all difficult to do. Really! My first quilt was New York Beauty which was paper pieced. Then I did Indian Orange Peel which was crazy piecing. If I can, you can. I Love it!
