A couple of weeks ago I took a paper piecing class at Sweet Home. I had the best time. Debbie Fry was the instructor, she is like the queen of paper piecing. The quilt that we were doing is on the wall behind her, Untitled a pattern by Karen Stone. I had a little experience with paper piecing, but just what I had picked up on my own from reading and looking online. On
e of the things we had to do was have the fabrics for one section of the block selected and cut to size. I wanted to go with a scrappy look, but was concerned about some of the fabrics that I had selected. I am really happy with the way the block turned out. I was afraid that the light yellow in the middle section would look washed out (which it does in the photo) but it added a lot to the block. This is definitely something that I will finish at some point in time.

Your block is fabulous! Yes, this is one quilt that should be finished. Enjoyed our sewing Tuesday evening!
I have not done much paper piecing, but thq uilt is beautiful, and your block is looking real good, it would be a quilt to finish. HAPPY PIECING!
Gorgeous! FUN! WOW! My friend does a lot of paper piecing and it's so strikingly gorgeous! She brought me some printed papers when she came to visit... I must sit down and "play" soon! Thanks for sharing!
Your block looks great! That is a fantastic quilt! Yes, one that you must finish!
Can I ask you a question? If I were to order this pattern....
(thanks for the link!)
How do I do it? meaning, the paper piecing part. Does it come w/the papers already preprinted? Do you go and copy what you need to make the quilt as big as you need from the one master piece?
Excuse my uneducated question, I just don't know because I've never bought a paper piecing pattern... I've seen my friend do them.. .but that's about it. I'm in LOVE with what you've done here... :)
