Thanks to amma for instructing me on how to pp I was able to try a block from quilterscache.com. They have a lot of patterns which are paper pieced. I can't wait to make my first pp'd quilt! It may take some time, but I think I'm up for it.

Sizoc46.
Your first & second attempts are so professional looking. You did a spectacular job. I haven't tried pp, but I've been looking at tutorials & pics. May have to try before long. Thanks.

They both look great to me! I've got to give it another shot. There are so many great PP patterns out there.

:shock: :shock: :shock: They are both wonderful! Brother Bear was just the second one you've done? Wow.

Wow, you certainly picked that up easy! Your blocks are great.

WTG!!!!

Wow! That looks great! How many pieces in that Brother Bear?

Another success for Miss Suzi!! Wonderfully done!!!

Thank you! I counted 101 pieces.

Thank you! You should try it, it is a real enjoyable way to piece.

Thank you! The blocks on quilterscache are awesome! Amma is a great teacher!

Thank you Ducky! Yep BB is the 2nd one I have done.

Thanks Eddie!

Thank you Rhonda!! Have you ever tried pping before? It works so well with miniature pieces.

Thank you Terri!

WOW - very nice!

beautiful :!: :wink: :!: :wink: :!: :!: don't you just love paper piecing??
great job. keep up the good work :!:

Great Job Suzi! Amma is THE best teacher, isn't she! :D

And are you up to doing a whole quilt? I should say so!!! :D

Great job.

Wow you sure jumped in with both feet on your second block! Over a hundred pieces??? Yikes!

The block is beyond fabulous. It is out of this world great. Nice work!

Super Job--I can't wait to try PP myself!

(to many ideas and projects, too little time...... :lol: )

Suzic those are both beautiful!

Suzie,
Those blocks are so cute!! :D I am
so anxious to try them out, too. I
just may have to ask you how!!
:D :D :D :D

wow, Suzi, over a 100 pieces on your first tries!?!
when you decide to learn something, you just go for it
...and great taste on teachers! :wink:

Beautiful!!! I love the design, the colors and you did a great job!

Thank you so much everyone!! I'd like to make a whole quilt of pp'd blocks. All different tho, but in the same color way, just like a sampler quilt. I think it would be fun to do and a great way to use up some of my stash. Amma's tutorial is posted on the forum now.

Holy cow!!! How did I miss your post??? :oops:
You did a beautiful job on both blocks!!! :D :D :D
Wow!!! You really jumped in on that second one!!! I am so proud of you!!! 8) 8) 8)
I can't wait to see the next ones!!!! :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

Way to go, I love them, an don my list of things to learn!

Thank you all! My next one is a Triple Star, which I will post on MsSage's topic as it is for her SILs quilt.

You did an awesome job on that one too!!!! :D :D :D

Here's one I did tonight - only took me 45 minutes from start to finish!! That's better than all day like my first one! I'm excited - This will be part of my sampler quilt. I couldn't believe all of the awesome patterns on quilterscache.com for paper piecing, they are beautiful and very intricate. What a challenge!! :D :D

You are doing an awesome job! Keep up the good work!

You are doing AWESOME :mrgreen: I hope to find more time to do more PPing :wink:

Amma Thank You for opening up our world :lol:
Sharon

Most definitely Amma, Thank You!!! Now I'm not so limited to just traditional blocks and I'm not afraid to start any new block anymore. Something more to be creative with - YAY!!!!

Thank you Sharon & Janstar!! I appreciate your encouragement!

That floral print is gorgeous, well the whole block is gorgeous also. Your work is really great. Keep it up.

You did great on your first try! I don't know how it got the reputation of being difficult...fear of the unknown I suppose. But I think it's pretty easy once you try one. :)

Thank you! I was afraid of the unknown when first attempting pp'ing. Ammas tute on it is perfect. I think it's pretty simple now, it takes some time to cut out the material first but is well worth it. I got on a roll with the last block using chain piecing and it went much faster than doing one thing at a time. Good luck to all who try it, it's fun to do!! :D

Beautiful work! I LOVE pp as there are no limits! I can do really complicated pieces just one step at a time! You are on your way! GREAT! :lol:

wow, Suzi, this one is gorgeous too. What is the name of it, and I'll go get me a pattern...don't you just love the grammar? :D

Thank you! The name of this block is "Beacon Lights" from quilterscache.com. I'm working on "Caned Seat" now, should be pretty nice when done, I hope.
