You can do this! It is easy. Just take it easy when you start and only worry about the first two pieces of fabric. Then add the next, etc.

Remember,
Baby Steps!

Paper piecing is FUN! :mrgreen:

That was a really good demonstration Yvonne. I'm sure that will help a lot of people who are confused about paper piecing!! It's one of my favorite techniques because you get such precise seams, points, etc.
Thanks for doing the demo. :)

That was great of you! what a gal! Thank you Yvonne. Now I have to go....I hear a block calling me. :D

Thanks Yvonne, I have tried this exact block. Needless to say I never got it right. I never paper pieced before. So I gave up on it. But you sure made it look alot easier then I tried to do it Now I 've got to give your way a try. :)

Thank you! Went to quilter's cache this am and printed off the instructions. You're photos will be a big help.

You all are most welcome for the photos. I sure hope they help you. I want you to enjoy paper piecing as much as I do.

One other suggestion. When you first start, use large chunks of fabric. It saves ripping out! As you work more with pp you will learn better the size of fabric you need and will waste less fabric.
