My Simple First Paper Piecing Block
 

I am so excited that I finally understand the paper piecing method. I have watched video's before, but last night I watched one that helped something to click for me. I did have to take loose one seam and redo, because I didn't have piece two up over enough as I did piece one. After that it all went well, and I had so much fun. I used some wood look fabric I got from another sweet person for the corners to resemble what would be on a barn since there are little animals in the center. You can see some strings, because I just took the paper off. My computer ran out of ink right when I wanted to print the template so I drew it until I print more of other patterns. There are erase marks that look as if they are wonky marks still there, but that is just how it shows. lol.....

I will make it into a coaster for my dear husband.
Thanks for looking. :)

My husband just commented that the colors are not rich like the real block, and he is right. My flash is not doing well.

Looks good. Love PP.

A little color correction

Thanks everyone. After I finally understood it, then that is when it became pure fun. lol.... I plan to pick me up one of those 1/4" rulers that help so much with it.

Great job! I could never understand pp'ing until I took a live, hands-on class. Then it all clicked. Good for you for conquering the technique on your own.
