My second attempt at paper piecing! I wanted to make a table topper for a special and dear friend, the colors and design replicates the design in her chairs at her Florida home. I am so thrilled how it turned out. I think I will try paper piecing again!

beautiful!

Love the colors.

You did fantastic and that was a more difficult pattern for a newbie!! Real challenging patterns will now be easy peazy for you! Great job!!! :D :D ;) ;)

Love this pattern. Is it in a book or pattern. What is name and where can I find it. Thanks

My question is What is so great about paper piecing? :mrgreen:

At first I didn't get it , I'm thinking didn't she see the picture? then .... Oh yeah you must be a jeopardy fan! :lol:

You did a wonderful job on this. It is beautiful.

Isnt' pp great ? So precise and I like "following the numbers". Very satisfying !

Beautiful!

The block was called "Rising Sun". It was originally a square block, four blocks equals the full circle, but I only wanted the topper to be round. It was in EQ6 under contemporary pieced - fans. I enlarged the blocks so I would have an 18" circle and omitted the outer pieces. I used looseleaf paper to print out the patterns - it was very easy to tear off after sewing.

Only the second time? Marvelous. I wish I could do as well even the 10th time I do such a thing. Haven't had the nerve to do PP yet.

wow...you did great. I've never tried paper piecing, but want to someday....on the long list of stuff to do.

wonderful, love the colors

very pretty!

very pretty..you did a wonderful job.

Awesome Job! Don't you just love paper piecing?

Gorgeous! I love it :D:D:D

Beautiful job and wonderful gift for a friend. Thanks for sharing!

This is beautiful. Can you share what the name of the pattern was? I would love to do some of these.

Lovely!

WOW! That is great!

Great job

Great job, specially for your first time. Carol Doak's website has all kinds of free PP patterns you can download and print out.
It is so much fun, once you get the hang of it. At first,for me, it was sort of like trying to re-learn how to dress yourself, but upside down, inside out and backwards! :lol:

It is goreous!

look at all those perfect points! Beautiful!

Beautiful. If I could turn out a pp project like that, I might WANT to try another project. Haven't had the nerve to try PP yet. Maybe this year!. You did a great job.

very nice

I love this!!! Very nice! Was the binding hard to do on the circle?

Just gorgeous!! Your friend is very lucky! You did a really great job!

Lovely, the colors are great

this makes me want to try paper piecing. It's lovely!

Actually the binding was easy, there were no mitered corners to deal with. Because the circle was larger, I did not have to cut the binding on the bias (I cut it on the crosswise grain of the fabric. It has more give than lengthwise.) After I trimmed the quilt to size, I pinned the binding onto the back and sewed it on from the front so I would not cut off my points. I then turned the binding to the front and hand sewed it down. I did press one quarter inch along the outer edge of the binding to make it easier to sew down after it was attached.

That is really pretty!
It looks like a mosiac. I am sure it was loved :)

Beautiful!

beautiful!

Wow, fantastic colors. My beginner one was a lot simpler.

Wow--I love that design. You did it beautifully! PP is a mystery to me. :lol:

very pretty!

Beautiful topper! Be careful though, PPing can be addictive. LOL

That is beautiful. It looks like a stained glass window.
