And maybe there are some that would be easier to do as applique rather than PP. Thanks you've given me lots to think about.

The other thing that was a royal pain was trying to figure out if the scrap of fabric would cover the edges once it was turned back after the seam was sewn.
I discovered an easy trick to deal with this. Instead of trying to fold your fabric back with a quarter inch "seam" folded into it, while holding it all up to a light or window, to see it the fabric will be big enough, just fold the paper over the fabric! If the paper piece covers the fabric, it's big enough! :D |

A few years ago I thought I would try paper piecing. I wanted to make a Dr. Who quilt for my youngest. The first block I tried was the falling angel with SO MANY tiny pieces for the wings. NO WAY! So I took the patterns for the 16 blocks and made a combination of appliques and 'regular' piecing for them. I am in awe of all of you who do paper piecing, but I don't think I'll be joining you!
