I'm Learning...and seeing stars.

For those of you that remember my first paper pieceing block , I have been warned that it is addicting, well I have hooked up a printer and been downloading everything I can find, I made a few little stars and then made this second block yesterday and finished it today after work, now hubby says I need to make atleast 7 more to make it compleate. I thought just some fancy borders and put it to rest, well I guess he is right, It will be a long process but I think I can do it. What do you think. Oh and to all that replyed to my other posts and thought about trying Paper Piecing, I say go for it if I can do it so can you. Try downloading a free block from the net and give it a shot. I made these out of small scraps I had, go figure.

Very nice!
I took a paper piecing class and really like it. A fun way to use scraps too. :cool:

NikkiLu 10-21-2012 06:08 PM

No way could I do that!!! Just not in my brain to do that process that exactly. Sigh.

Those are very pretty blocks and you are doing a wonderful job on them!

I really like this one, the way the star looks three dimensional. The others look great too. I have only paper pieced one quilt using the log cabin block. It was not hard at all, but was time consuming, but worth it. Such precision.
