My first Paper Piecing Project
 
1 Attachment(s)
This is one block of many for my first paper piecing quilt I'm working on. The pattern is called Eyes of March from quilterscache.com. After a few test blocks, I feel very comfortable working with paper piecing! As soon as I stop playing with the "new board" I'll get back to finishing up the quilt! :)

Thanks everyone! I'm finding it to be a little time consuming because it takes me an hour or so for one block. Maybe I'm just being too careful not to mess up :o

It does get faster the more you do . The first one I did took FOREVER!! Great block!

Great job, love the colors.

It's very pretty. Is paper piecing hard? I'm a little intimidated by paper piecing since I've never actually seen it done; I've only seen the results.

Nice job! This will be a lovely quilt - can't wait to see it :)

It's not that hard! Just did a lot of practicing before I got comfortable enough to make these blocks. Try it and you'll be amazed how well it goes :)

It's very pretty. I love PP and it is fun to see how the points all come together. Huggies, Fay

majormom 11-02-2011 10:35 AM

Very pretty job - nice points and great color. I know what you mean about 'playing' with the board! We'll get used to it though, even though I personally liked it the way it was.

Beautiful block!

ann clare 11-02-2011 10:42 AM

Like she said, the more you do, the easier and faster it is.

I haven't paper pieced in a while but I love the perfection you achieve. It's true, the more you do, the easier it gets . It's going to be a beautiful quilt.
