I had the same feeling about paper piecing till I finally got the guts to try. My 1st attempt was Jinny Beyer's Crystal Star. Made a few mistakes but not noticeable enough to redo. Still waiting to be quilted though.

I am amazed, you did a wonderful job. PP is one of the quilty things that just escapes me. I tried and tried and just don't get it. LOL
Fortunately there are so many other things to keep me happily busy, I don't miss being able to do this one. Congrats on your new skill and new love!!

Great job on your first PP. I like the fabrics and colors you used and the pattern was a bit hard for a first attempt, so fantastic job. I think my first PP had 6 pieces in it! I didn't realize that there were rules about what color/fabric we should use for PP. Have you gone to Paper Panache? You can get a free PP quilting lady there. Cute and a challenge.
Have fun with your next project.

Paper piecing saved my sanity. When my husband of 41 years passed away I was needless to say in a pretty deep depression. A gal friend of mine talked me into taking a class on PP. She knew I needed to find something to do to keep myself busy. We had learned to quilt together many years ago. I have since made several pp blocks and will someday put them all together to make an orphaned block quilt. It has become my favorite way to quilt.
