    Thank you for the visualization - I have only done one small quilt label with PP and of course, I can't remember how to do it.

    A great idea. I find that when I paper piece that first one is the most difficult, i.e. getting the angles right. Sometimes I make say five or six together. Seems like they go faster and there is more of a sense of accomplishment.

    Thank you for sharing your tip I have just cut 730 pieces for a pp and I am going to piece 40 blocks one after each other (hopefully) for part of the pattern. I am really hooked on this way of making a quilt top at the moment as my last one turned out great and I am waiting to get a floral backing for it to finish.

    This sounds like a wonderful way to keep everything together and making the blocks smoothly. I like the idea of printing out the photos though and keeping them with the pattern for future reference.

    It sounds like a great idea to me. I've got a couple paper piecing projects on the back burner and I will probably try out your method as I'm sure it will be a time saver. Thanks for the tip.
