Those are so awesome!!! :D :D :D
Ahhhhh another convert!!! 8) 8) 8)
I can't wait to see more!!! I love to share my addiction!!!

Your blocks a terrific, K! My favorite is the Ducky, though...... :lol: You're inspiring me to get going on mine, but I had projects halfway done and I just have got to finish them. Keep them coming. In fact, you could paper piece my landscape design and we could pretend I did it! :twisted:

:shock: Ducky :twisted: :lol: :lol:

Looks great. The blocks are adorable.

Thank you everyone! Have been googling around for more patterns and I found this http://thimble-art.com/wp-content/up...ip-pattern.pdf

DIMENSIONAL PP!!! :shock:

Gotta try it! Will go post it in links as well. :D

K, those are too cute. Where can I find the doggie & kitty patterns? All of the PDA folks are so nice, you included. I love to spend time on there. Rhonda is a dear & all the ducks, etc. Gotta run.

Here are the links to all who'd like them. :D

I love the dimensional paper pieced link!!!! It's got my wheels a turning!!! Thank You!!! :D :D :D

Amma taught me to pp as well. She is an awesome teacher!! I started a thread with my first and second trials if you want to look. :D

Thanks for the links. Sooooooo cute!

well, as for friends from the diary section...I'm dragging up my rear, LOL!...but I am finally here, and K, your blocks are GREAT!
wow, Amma, your a good teacher, and have great students.
Never thought of using foundation-templates. I do love to save on my fabrics. At the rate I am being frugal with it, I could will it to my great, great, greats :wink:
P.S. K, I just know, I told you somewhere, but I love your rooster!
He really is something to crow about, too! :mrgreen:

Thanks re the rooster - you DID say it already but I don't mind hearing it again :wink: .

Re the fabric wastage - if you use amma's template method then you hardly waste a scrap! :D

You did a great job!! I am hooked on paper piecing .... in fact I now prefer that to regular patchwork. I have a quilting friend who lives nearby and we are always getting together to compare notes and patterns.

These are lovely and the lucky child (for several generations)
who gets this will love it forever.

I do hate to rain on your parade, but as a mother, I would
strongly suggest this be a wall hanging, or else remove the
buttons and embroidery some animal eyes in place of the buttons. Or ARE they already embroideried on and made to
look like buttons?

Those are darling.

These are really, really cute!

Great job!

If the buttons are sewn on with dental floss, they are safe for all ages. Even agressive toddlers. Now if the toddler has access to scissors, all bets are off, but they'd be in more danger from the scissors than the buttons.

and she would know, as she is an ICU nurse!!!
and a great person! :wink:

K, have to tell you, AGAIN...i love your blocks, but that first one, melts the cockles of my wee little heart...well, it's big, but I'm a mouse,...maybe that's why I like the little furry critter one, so much :lol:

Excellent! What a great job for your first adventure in pp. I just love paper piecing! Soon you will be looking at every block you see to imagine how it could be done the pp way! :D

is your dog jealous?

You've made a Delightful Duck and Perky Puppy. Is the beak on the Duck 3-D? Ir looks like it. Or is it a Prairie Point?

Great job K! I think you are on a roll!!

I think I am catching the FEVER too!! :D I just adore these PP blocks. Thank you for posting this web site. I just printed it & can't wait to try one. Wish me luck!!
:D :D :D :D :D

I did take a lesson and still was not interested in doing much more.until a friend introduced me to the add an 1/8" and the add a 1/4" rullers. It made the cutting and fitting in place so very much easier.

I would never had tried the following if it weren't for these two rulers.

couldn't get the picture on the board...will have to wait for the grandkids to come and show me how to do it....LOLOLOLOL

Very Cute!! I'm sure you're hooked on paper piecing now. It's a lot of fun!

welcome to the world of paper piecing!! you did a great job!!! now the fun begins :-)

Hi k3n, have you been doing any more??? I thought I seen it mentioned, but haven't come across any pictures. I don't want to miss them :wink: :D

Hi Ramona - I just laid the buttons on for the pics, I plan to embroider the details for the reason you mention. :wink:

Yup - because this one is MUCH better behaved than him! :mrgreen:

It's a square of fabric folded twice and sewn into the seam. So I guess it's a prairie point! :D

those r great!! i haven't tried paper piecing yet but you've inspired me to try--these are so adorable!!

Thanks so much for those. :D

I haven't done anymore because I went to England for the weekend but I'll soon have my nose back to the grindstone! Don't worry, I'll share pics as I go!

And thanks everyone for your kind comments, everyone should try this, anyone can do it if I can and it's really fun! :D
