`This is my first attempt at paper piecing and I was totally 'discombobulated'. Not to anxious to do it again. My hats off to any of you who can master this technique.

I am thinking you have already mastered this technique. Looks wonderful from my perspective? Fabulous job!

Riley

the blocks look nice

when I tried it, I was really surprised at how much fabric it seemed to take

Keep at it Jan - your doing a lovely job. I can honestly say your blocks look perfect to me considering it's your first attempt.
Don't forget to post again once you've added the next 2 blocks.

Believe me once you get into some sort of momentum your wonder why you ever found this technique daunting at first. I love doing PP :wink:

Thanks Riley and bearisgray. I agree that it takes alot of fabric. I was really being careful with the house fabric because I only had a little bit. I wanted the strips so it would look more like a house. In the picture it looks kind of like a barn.

It looks like it was worth doing....wonderful quilt.... :-)

Looks great. I've done very little pp but it allows for those tight corners and sharp points.

That truned out great.

the quilt is awesome!

I think you've mastered the technique, Jan!!! It looks great to me!! And I love the colors/fabrics your using! :D :D

I was afraid I had missed your next mystery block. It's great! All of them are.

Well I think YOU mastered the paper piecing! Awesome work! Paper piecing always turns me around. You make it look easy!

You did a perfect job on paper piecing the house block. Love the other blocks, too. Can't wait to see it completed. It is going to be a fabulous quilt.

Your PP looks great. I am so afraid to try PP. Need to take that PP 101.

Love all your blocks.

I know what you mean. I've done a few paper piecing quilts and it takes several blocks before I get my mind around it. I did turtles one time and the first one took me hours because of ripping out and doing over. Once I got into it I was ok but you really need to do several blocks before it registers or maybe I'm dyslectic or something. Your block looks great, love it.

That is beautiful. You did a great job.

Your quilt is turning out beautiful, great job. Love your word: discombobulated, we don't hear that very often :D

I think you mastered pp quite well...it looks great!!! Love your other blocks, too :D :D :D

You did a real nice job.
What impresses me about paper piecing is how detailed you can make a picture block. It is a bothersome technique for people who really like piecing, but you can't beat paper piecing for adding dimension to a block.
Your mystery quilt is teaching you a lot of techniques, rather quickly, isn't it?
Enjoy your color scheme also.
THank you for sharing.

Jan,
I just love your PP quilt blocks.
They look pretty awesome to me.
You have done a great job!!
:D :D :D :D

Jeepers--it looks like mastery work to me!! I haven't attempted it either.

I do love that top. What's next on it?

I've yet to attempt PP. Don't know if I could master the accuracy with my crazy ways! LOL!

I'm really lovin' all those blocks. Can't wait to see the other two!

Love the blocks!!!!!! Great job!

It looks great!!!!!! You did a fabulous job!!!!

That is really pretty! Can't wait to see the next one!

I think it looks fantastic!! Great job!

Love your house block! I haven't tried PP yet - too scared! LOL

The blocks look great. Like you, I'm not a fan of paper piecing, but it does make for nice sharp point. You did a really good job.

Yoour PP'ing looks fantastic!!! I just can't get it. I haven't tried very hard either. Takes too much thinking!! :D :D Can't wait to see the rest of yours. I love the colors your using!

I love everything about it. great job...great quilt! fab colors! :D

JanW, The mystery pattern is put out by our quilt guild. We never know what's next until our monthly meeting. There are only two more blocks to go. I can't wait to see what is next either!

Thank you all for your support! It took a couple of trys before I got it!! The worst part being, I won't remember how till I look at the instructions again. Getting 'old' sucks!!

Very precise looking work, I think you did great on it.

Looks great. I love paper piecing. :lol:

You have done an impressive job. You can do it. :D
