In my case, it's a wall hanging and won't be getting washed on a regular basis, but it was much easier than picking out all the tiny pieces of paper.

Great job on your quilt!

Where do you buy disasoveable paper?

Very bright and colorful! Great fabric selection!

Oh my, that is just the quilt to look at on this icy cold day here in St. Louis. Really makes me want to be anywhere else that is warm where I don't have to look like a Michelin Man when I go outdoors!
I love pping and this sure looks like fun to do!

I am so jealous I have been off and on working on my Beach Cottages for a couple of years but seem to put it aside everytime I have a quilt for a wedding present or baby quilt or Christmas gifts but you are an inspiration It is a beautiful quilt you did a beautiful job. Janey

Don't you just love PP? I hated it early on but can't get enough of it now.

Am working on a wall hanging...9 teacups (finished) and a teapot.....
(tomorrow hope to get that done)

Love your beach cottages.........MaryJane

This will definitely be worth the wait. You have done a fantastic job. The tropical colors and the waves make you feel like you're at the beach!

Thanks for the wonderful feedback! I brought this in to work to show off and while I was mentally figuring out how I was going to quilt it, I noticed a mistake. Huge to me, probably not to others. I'm working on the fix and will post before/after closeups of how I am fixing it. If I had to tear it all apart, I probably wouldn't have continued at this time.
