My 1st attempt at paper piecing
 

I have a BOM swap project going on with a friend of mine in CA and we are wrapping it up in May. We will have made each other 20 random blocks that we can make a sampler out of. Before we finish it up I wanted to try my hand at paper piecing. I went to quilters cache and found one the right size and described as very easy. That was right up my alley. I started with the aqua strip one and discovered how important it was to follow the stitching lines accurately. Lol! So it's got a slight curve to it. I did like how accurate the points are. After my first one I think my lines are straighter.
The only rules we set for each other were mine were to be all brights and no solids, and hers had to have pink in every block. She likes novelty prints (reason for the lady bugs this time plus her blocks have had a kind of garden theme).
I think I will try paper piecing again. It seemed kind of cumbersome to me but it sure did turn out some nice points.

very pretty :)

Great job. What is the name of the block?

How sweet that you are both doing this. I like the lady bugs. That is a bright and happy block!

It's called "Interwoven....." I think diamonds. It's a 12" on quilters cache.

Very nice, I love the ladybug fabric.

I love your ladybug fabric. My little business is Ladybug Artistry, and its so hard to find ladybugs in different colors. It made a darling quilt. Great going

I love the colors too! Great job on you PP. That's something I haven't tackled yet.

very pretty!!

Perfect for the LadyBugs. I like paper piecing but vey seldom do it.Love the blocks

I'm not fond of paper piecing either - but you are right, nice sharp points on your great block!

Your colors are popping-leaves me with a happy feeling after seeing them. Be fun to see all your pieces you made for her.

very pretty!

Really like the colours & that ladybug fabric is just too cute !!!

Congratulations. Sounds like you have a good start to pp. It is cumbersome. Some blocks are best done pp due to the accuracy. You've added another technique to your basket of tools.

Nice job...love those fabrics, too!

What fun colors.

After seeing these , my guess is we will see more Paper Piecing from you . Very cute !
