How much did you drink to accomplish this incredible work of art? The last block of the month was not a pretty sight here. I was worried that I would run out of wine and chocolate before it got done. My hat is off to your greatness :):):):) Personally think that paper piecing was created by a sadist.... sigh...

I love to paper piece but find ripping out the paper a pain, doing it on a foundation of muslin or vilene works really well, and avoids the problem of pulling out of shape when you are doing lots of angles such as mariners compass etc.
Its abit weird at first as you are sort of working back to front - but as you found once the penny drops - you will never look back!!
Well done, its gonna be a lovely lap quilt - AND I think you should start practising free motion, you will have great fun, Karla (Barnbum) is loving it now, and I have got the hang of it now...needs practice practice practice but its FUN!! :D

Ady, it's so pretty & looks perfect to me. there you go I told you you'd be able to do PP.
Going to look on the site as my strip for my Round Robin next month is Triangles so I may adapt the corner block into a strip, many thanks :lol:
There will be no stopping you now, you should make more of these blocks into a quilt. Love to know what you decide, & more pics please.
