Oh PP is awesome, please try again, it make everything look so perfect. I taught myself and just love it and still from time to time I make a mistake, but when complete so worth it. Your quilt is very pretty.

Very pretty quilt. I love paper piecing but I think that it's a technique that we either love it or hate it.

I agree, after you have made a couple of projects you learn how to precut pieces that are pretty close to what you need. It took a couple of projects before I fell in love with the accuracy!!

This is a beautiful quilt - great job! I wonder if you might like a die cutter instead of paper piecing for large blocks? I ADORE paper piecing (though I know it's not for everyone) - but I generally reserve it for small blocks with precision piecing. I bet you could get great accuracy and waste less fabric with something like a Go from Accuquilt.

That's sad to think you don't want to PP. Judy Niemeyer patterns are mostly PP and she definitely does not waste fabric with her methods!

I absolutely love paper piecing. Don't give it up, but try something smaller. Paper piecing allows for some very intricate blocks. I learned in a way that just doesn't waste fabric, so it can be done.
