So any tips for those of us who are now too scared to attempt the corset block?!? LOL ;-)

i'm going to try the regrouped center that i posted but i'm not sure that will really make a difference.

what i will be doing for sure, is a long running stitch first to make sure everything matches up first before i sew in the tiny stitches used for paper piecing.

sadly, i ripped the stitches out a few times and those tiny ones are a pain to rip out plus it made a mess of my paper.

LOL, thats when i knew it was time to call it "done" because my paper was falling apart in my hands from all the needle punches.

Did you have trouble with seam allowances bunching as well? I'm wondering if a mixture of pp and normal piecing might help.

kluedesigns

certainly the only thing really to paper piece would be the dead center.

i pressed all those seams open while i was working on them to avoid bulk.

Wow! I feel so far behind, I haven't started these yet, been working on my Jan doll quilt. All of the blocks so far are fantastic!! I really love the Jane in batiks! I really love batiks.

Well must get busy and catch up.
Great work everyone!
