Great job, good color selection ;)

Cuddly Quilter 12-31-2010 06:00 AM

Would love to know how you did a circle in pp - that is what i still have to learn. Been staying away from them. I feel ashamed as this is your second PP and i have done a lot and nothing like this one. I need help here and would appreciate it. 8-)

ljptexas 12-31-2010 06:50 AM

Very, very pretty.... I love to PP..

The circle was in four pieces - the curves were not hard in paper piecing. The hardest part was attaching the three curves together. Used lots of pins, sewed slow and kept a seam ripper handy!

Fantastic job.

Love the colours and pattern you chose...and I can't believe this is only the 2nd x you've paper pieced. Very impressive.

* I was going to abbreviated "paper pieced" - pp'd, but that just doesn't sound right in my head...lol!

CarrieAnne 01-04-2011 09:00 PM

pretty!

That's beautiful. I particularly love the colors. I have EQ7 but haven't learned how to use it yet. That's encouraging...

Beautiful Diane, but of course, you're such a talented lady that I'm not surprised!!!
