Paper piecing is hard, messy and time consuming, but I have to admit after 2 or 3 more pp quilts I might come to love it. I completed the blocks a while ago and yesterday decided to work on the sashing. Cut many, many little pieces then discovered I cut the black pieces out of tan and vice versa. Started over, got it right the second time. I am exhausted! Might have to wait 2 or 3 mos before I continue. Will see after my nap.

This is the Jinny Beyer pattern called Jinny's Garden that was a free pattern on the Board.

Great job. Glad you hung in there & got the pp-ing done.
I know just what you mean. I have been working on
"The Nativity" pp-ing pattern by Paper Panache & I have felt totally pp-ing dislexic. A very complex pattern with a gazillion TINY pieces, but well worth it (when I finish it).

What a beauty!! I hope you are ready to start working on it again soon. I know how you feel though, I often have a hard time finishing a quilt that I am struggling with. Give it a few days and maybe you'll feel the inspiration again.

Cheers!
