My love/hate relationship with paper piecing!

I just love the look of paper pieced blocks, but I find the technique...challenging! Both Yvonne and Patrice have some great illustrated instruction on this board if you've ever wanted to try it or perfect it.
Here's my latest attempt. I'm going to try this in different fabrics today.

Chele,
I am so proud of you! You're doing a great job. Gotta love those points!
I don't think I'd argue one bit about paper piecing being challenging! That it can be!!! I think I've mentioned that I have become very adept at ripping extremely small stitches with a rotary cutter!! :mrgreen:

Your paper piecing looks good to me Chele. I printed that pattern out yesterday & hope to make it soon. I'm wondering if the star parts would pop out more if I make the background a more solid color?
