    You did a fine job of paper piecing Karenmay. I can't believe that's your first attempt. :)

    I especially like the one in the bottom left, with the roses in the fabric. They're all so pretty!

    Paper piecing was so hard for me to learn! I still get mixed up! The results are gorgeous, so I'm making it a rule to piece a block every week until I learn it inside and out. Otherwise I'll forget what I learned. I remember bringing my laptop to my sewing place and going over and over the instructions! What did I do wrong?!! Why isn't it working? I was so impressed when I finally got a block, that I have to master it! Maybe in 20 years?!! 30?!!
