Very pretty. Love the colors.

This is really beautiful. How long have you been quilting for? I would like this pattern please. I am a total newbie when it comes to quilting and am busy with my first quilt. I have discovered it is not easy and my blocks don't line up the way they should, but I am still finishing it. End of month, I will see about buying the cutting board, ruler etc. This one was cut with scissors - very time consuming. I have the greatest admiration for those who quilt!

Paper Pieced challenged :!: The picture that I am attaching has taken two days :hunf: Have you seen the subject "do you swear when you sew :lol: :lol:
The block that is referenced above is sewn differently then the pattern that I have. Is this going to be an issue? When sewing each section together, do I remove the paper at this time? If not, I will be sewing two pieces of fabric and two pieces of paper together, will the paper be hard to remove?
Any help or suggestions are appreciated so that I can have it to Sherryl before the deadline :thumbup:

Nancy,

It looks like you are doing great - yes you do sew the pieces together with the paper still on them. The only time I might remove any of the paper is at the very last when you sew all four of your quarters together to make the whole block. Sometimes I remove just about an inch of paper from each piece where all four centers will meet so that you don't have more thickness there than necessary.

Here is a picture of the same section that you are doing that might help.

Thanks,
Sherryl

Here is a completed block made by FarmQuilter after receiving the pattern. I think she did a great job. :thumbup: :thumbup: especially when you stop and consider that this was her very first attempt at paper piecing. Way to go Farm Quilter!

Thank you,

Thank you so much candlequilter. You pic gave me confidence to continue. Now I can really get working on it!! I am so jealous of FarmQuilter ~ her first paper pieced ~ amazing. She has talent. Mine is in the making, not natural :.)

Hi, actually alot of people want to try and put the smaller piece on the wrong size of the bigger piece or they try putting it on upside down. So you are doing great!!! Just the idea of paper piecing with working upside down to begin with (you know with the fabric under the paper facing away from you) is an unnatural feel to it.

Thanks again,
