So I woke up today at 8am--thank you Mr.Neighbor Man with your cool power tools!--and decided why not try out this paper piecing thing. And ya know what??? I LOVE IT!!! I can do triangles now! Points match up!! I'm so excited!! No more sticking to simple little squares--YAY!!! They were getting a little boring I gotta say! So here is my first block--Roads to Rome. Come on I had to do that one! My family is from Roma!! I did notice after doing one part that template b is off and bigger then the others. So i figured out what it needed to be and remade it myself! Here she is...

Very nice. I haven't had the guts to try paper piecing yet. YET. But when I do I hope my first attempt comes out this nice. Great job.

I went to the qulter's cache website and did her tutorial first. Then I went through all her patterns and looked at all the paper piecing ones---I have a nice little list now! It's soo easy!

What I really like about paper piecing is
1.the really pretty pictures that can be done.
2. How straight everything is
3. How pointy the points are everytime!

BUT it drives me crazy!

I have a really hard time with figuring out sizes of paches to use and the angles they will ultimately lie in!

What a great LOVE-HATE relationship I have going with it!
