i find it extremely time-consuming. My avatar is my first PP block ( I only started quilting 1 year ago) and it was done with the paper rather than freezer paper. If you haven't checked out the freezer paper method, it would be worth your time to do so. And for those of you who have' always wanted to learn' or 'hate' or are 'afraid of' jumping into PP by either method, I say GO for it... You will be amazed. |
BW, I think it looks great! Just take a hammer and whack that center wad, and it will flatten out! LOL You done good, girl!

great idea! i'll try that! never thought of a hammer.
how does freezer paper work? don't you still have to pull off the paper from both sides of the seams? if you do, what difference does it make? the paper comes off pretty well now if you pull on the block in all directions first. it takes longer because it's one extra step. |
I think its fabulous!!!

There are much clearer instructions online. This shows the method if you are only doing a single block. ( you can use the same FP about three or four times ) HOWEVER, the stacking and sewing without thread thing makes short work of the same pattern and once again, reduces the time requirement. Try it, then let us know how you like the method.. I won't do it any other way now. Don't forget... If you stack and sew, SHINY SIDE DOWN when you do this. |
who are you kidding? you did a great job, and your right, that pattern has a ton of points meeting in the center, so for your first try, you picked a hard one and rose to the challenge, B.
hand to chest, means mouse impressed! :XD: |
