What have I got myself into LOL
 

I found this pattern online and fell in love with it. It's intermediate / advanced paper piecing so I bought it, and have two "parts" (of 10) done so far (not yet sewn together, so the seams don't line up yet!)

All 10 parts are done in pinks / purples ...

Here's the pattern (for the life of me, I cannot rotate these, sorry)

Here's what I've done so far

You sure have more courage than I have. Have you tried basting them. Are the printout inaccurate?? Can you ask for help where you bought it online?? I hope that you can resolve this problem.

I think it' s going to look spectacular when you get it done. Why are you second guessing yourself?

looks good so far

that's an awesome pattern for sure. coming along beautifully too. can't wait to see this one done.

YIKES. Just looking at that give me the 'willies'... big time! You're a brave woman.

it looks good i like your colors!!!

It's coming along great so far! Great colors!

They aren't sewn together yet. That will be tomorrow night. The big test!! There are some really small pieces!! I'm just hoping I haven't bitten off more than I can chew!!

I'm sure it will be awesome when your done. Love the colours.

Wow! I can certainly see the appeal of the pattern, but there is no intermediate involved. That is advanced paper piecing. Can't wait to see it finished.

Good Luck. We have faith in you and it's going to be beautiful. BrendaK

OOOH!!!! I like it. I may just have to get that pattern. It's going to be really a work of art when you finish.

In looking at the picture and what you have, it appears to me that one 'arm' of each star is inserted into the row of the next, allowing for the curve in the rows. My impression is that without hue change, you may not have the inward spiral effect, also. I suspect this may be one of those patterns where the instructions are less helpful than the picture. Good Luck!!

Go, brave one. Please share when you are finished. It will be beautiful.

WOW you are ambitious. Looks good to me and in my favorite color.

I think it looks great.

You will do great, your off to a good start and besides how can anything go wrong when it's purple. Can't wait to see the finished product.

That will be spectacular when it's finished. Love your colour choices.

As a chicken-hearted sewer, having never done ANY paper piecing......"willies" are mild compared to what I am experiencing looking at this.

I would ooh and ahhh at a quilt show seeing this, but would not feel brave enough to attempt!

Way to go!

Hi If you mean sideways pics are you using ipad ? if so take pic with ipad in landscape position ,white button on the right side, pics will appear correct.

Love that pattern! You are doing a great job, Carry on!

Whoa! Wow! It is gorgeous!!!! I've been PPing for several years but.....

I'm sure you can do it. You only bite off more than you can chew when you forget to eat daintily and take one bite at a time. So, don't doubt yourself and take it one bite (or step) at a time. Enjoy the journey and the beautiful quilt it is becoming. We will be anxious to see the progress or finished product.

I think it's a clever pattern and you will do fine with it. I'm interested in seeing what other colors you bring into the quilt.

Oh gosh! That's fantastic pattern! I look forward to seeing it completed.

I take the pics with my phone - upright - and email them to myself and then download them. They are fine until I post them LOL

Thanks for the tip ... I am obviously doing something wrong LOL

Thanks for all the comments! It is a bit daunting LOL ... the paper piecing is actually easy, I'm just going to be nervous about sewing it all together.

QUESTION FOR THE PP EXPERTS - in order to keep everything perfectly lined up, I had thought about keeping the paper on and then only taking it off after I have sewn them together. This will be a wall hanging quilt that I will NOT be donating ... so was wondering ... what happens to the little pieces of paper that I can't get off? If I wash it (which I usually do when it's all done) will the paper disintegrate or will it make lumps? I'm talking about small, tiny pieces of paper.

These are the other colours that I will be using.

I bought a fat quarter bundle from missouriquilts and I just love the colours. Two fat quarters makes two wedges, so it works out perfectly!

Yes, you are doing great with this beautiful project. Just keep on going, and as another one said most of all "enjoy the journey."

Oh, just skip the small pieces and put a button in the middle!

(Just kidding. As long as you take your time, you'll be fine!)

That's cool!! I can't wait to see the finished product!

Going to be a great quilt. Love the color and fabric.

Looks good, great pattern!

It's lovely and will be a real stunner (in a good way) when it's done. You're sure into more pain than I am! Congrats on being courageous! :-)

Looks like a challenge and you've got a good start. Can't wait to see it progress.

Love the colors. It'll be great. I'm sure as you carry on, it'll all come together.

Looks like you are doing a great job...

If the tiny pieces of paper are really tiny, there shouldn't be a problem if some get left on, you just don't want them to glob together and create a lump. I love pp but I don't think I am as brave as you are! It will look beautiful when you finish.

I think you are doing a fabulous job! Keep working on it and sharing with us, you brave woman!
