no it isn't paper pieced, it is hand pieced and needle turn applique and reverse applique - some of the blocks are very complicated it took me 383 hours I believe (I have it written down but not handy) I shaved 90 hours off of the time compared to doing it the first time (same method)
I lot of people do it by machine and do paper piecing for some blocks. I just like hand piecing and choose that.
thank you everyone for your compliment on the quilt and the colors - I love the colors too :)
