I was in a swap and sent two small quilted wall hangings to the gal to decorate her cube at work...
It was my first time doing paper piecing. I learned a lot along the way. It was pretty frustrating. I did a lot of ripping since I didn't match of the fabrics properly and was lacking coverage here or there... but after 4 tries I had 2 blocks done! (yay....)

I will do paper piecing again but next time I'll cut the fabric much larger than I need to so that I don't have as much frustration along the way..!

They are both cute.

I've only tried paper piecing a couple of times - I was so surprised at how much fabric it seemed to take -

cute puddy-tats

I am doing a pp now, so I feel your pain, girlfriend.

I like the way yours turned out, cute kitties!

Cute kitties. I love pp, but it does take a certain mind set to get in the groove. :?

Love your kitties. I have a mental block with paper piecing. Once I get the first couple fabrics on I am ok.

Those are very cute cats,

Great persistance, and good to hear that you are willing to try again.

Those are sooo cute!!! :D
I've never tried paper piecing, seems like I'm too ADD for it..... lol!!!!

Those are wonderful. Great job.

Too, Too cute!

Very well dressed, and well-done kitties! Good job!

oh my gosh how adoreable

Those are really really cute! Great job!

So glad to see so many "feline fanatics" who also quilt (as I type with one on my lap)! Very cute. Yes PP does take some getting used to. Once you figure out to cut the pieces about a 1/2" bigger then you need it is a joy though. BTW your embroidered faces really make those blocks.

Awww, they are both so cute!!!

Thanks on the embroidered faces - but I didn't do it by hand. I do that kind of stuff with my sewing machine. I can't be bothered with a needle and thread :lol:
They really needed something that's for sure. I regret not doing the girl's face in a different color but I was being lazy and didn't want to change thread. It isn't AS hard to see in person but it doesn't jump like the male's face does. I thought they looked too plain as is.

They are adorable :D :D :D

Mr and Mrs Kitty look great. You did a wonderful job.
