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!

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 ...

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 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."
