My first attempt at paper piecing
1 Attachment(s)
I have wanted to try paper piecing for a while now, and today was the day. I downloaded a beginner block from the Carol Doak website and this is the result. Just a block to hang on the wall over my sewing machine. By no means perfect, but it is a beginning. I can see how this could become addicting. LOL
|
It is definitely addicting!! I love Carol Doak's patterns. She has a yahoo group too. Lots of great advice and patterns.
|
It's beautiful. You did a great job. Now you are hooked!! I love paper piecing.
|
You did a great job!!! It's very pretty!
|
Wow nice job! thanks for sharing.
|
It's very pretty! Fun isn't it?
|
I'd say that is pretty perfect! I love the colors too.
|
You did really well ! I am addicted to paper piecing... so many possibilites that would not be easliy done ( or done at all)using conventional piecing methods.
Don't you just keep looking at the points and marveling! |
very nice love the colors
|
Thats why I am ppquilter, love to pp!
|
Very pretty!!!!
|
you did a great job!!!
|
Nice job! You could hang it on your christmas tree this year.
|
Great Job If my 1st attempt went that well I probably would have done it again lol
|
It's gorgeous! Love the colors. I just started playing with paper piecing myself and really love how it turns out. I used printer paper my first try but didn't like how difficult it was to remove, so just bought a a couple of kids' doodle pads at Dollar Tree as someone on here suggested. It's much thinner and will tear away easier, I'm sure. Can't wait to get back to it, and we're supposed to have some really hot weather the next three days, so think I'll hunker down with my sewing machine and the A/C on and have fun!
|
looks good on a flying horse...lol
|
Beautiful work!!! You are on your way.
|
Isn't it wonderful when those paper pieced points come together precisely at the right spot? I like paper piecing, but am not sure I could make a large quilt using only paper piecing!!
|
I love how paper piecing is so exact. Your PP is beautiful!
|
Looks perfect to me. Love the colors!
|
very pretty...I have pp on my to do list
|
Very nice. Love your color choices also!
Are you hooked now? |

|

|
very nice and paper piecing is addicting but fun
|
Love the colors you used. Pretty!
|
That's beautiful! I'm trying to get my courage up to try it.
|
paper piecing is additive.
|
Beautiful, you did a great job!!!
|
wonderful wonderful. Just remember when you trim the seams be sure the darker color is under the white or
it will show through on the top and you won't catch it until you have to many pic sew together. Trust me on this one, it only took a couple times and I am careful now. lol:thumbup: |
