Looks great for your first block!! Gorgeous fabric choices! I want to learn paper piecing, just haven't gotten around to buying a book yet. Haven't decided which one I should get anyways.
Looking forward to seeing what you do with this block!

That darn paper piecing is addicting! I am just learning through the newbies challenge and my sewing room looks like a fabric shredder got in here! Sure is addicting tho. I love the precision of the blocks.

I think it looks great! I understand what you mean about the bulk in the center. I had that problem with the palm trees on the Beach Cottages quilt I did.
Maybe one of our resident experts would have a hint about how to reduce the bulk. Anyone?
