I love PP even if it does create a mess. Stick with it, you will love the final result.

"Mess", "What mess?" That's a WIP! Your block is beautiful. I admire your "stick-to-itness". I find PP confusing and tedious and it gives me a headache and really need to take a class. My hat's off to you for "just doing it!" You go, girl!!

Nothing wrong with the results. Try to keep a wide open bucket or dustbin next to you for the falling pieces.

I really like PP...I have to admit though I LOL'd at your second photo. There has been many times that my work area has looked way worse. Please stick with it..the more you do it, the better you get at it!

very pretty block ,one way to make it faster is to cut your fabric first to the size of the area to be covered but remember to cut them larger for that area,cut all your fabric for the blocks ,,,,, then just sit and sew it is a lot of work but worth it for all the straight neat corners, GOOD LUCK DOTTIE BUG

Your block is beautiful. I love pp'ing but removing the paper it the worst part I my opinion. I like to leave it until the ever end. I usually sew the blocks together before I remove it.
