I was challenged to try and make the entire pp block so went out and got the additional fabric WOW what a difference but boy was alot of work! But I am so happy with the results!

Thanks for the little encouragement to push myself.

Very pretty. I'm glad you went back and tried pp again. I'm still working on my star for Feb. Hoping to get it finished soon.

My white fabric was white on white and, of course, after checking all eight pieces realized the white was on the wrong side on three triangles. Rip out and start over but easier because my adjoining pieces were already cut. Despite a lot of work I did enjoy learning. By December I am going to be a wiz in pp.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Love seeing everyone's combination of fabrics - envy your talents in choosing choices of colors. thank you.

Beautiful block!

Gorgeous blocks!

Sooo - hopefully attempt number 4 will be a success!

Here is number 4 - my first ever paper pieced block!


What fun!!

Well done! It is GORGEOUS!! Love the fabric choices and it looks fantastic! :thumbup: :thumbup:

Love your fabric choices and the colour combination! It is lovely.

I'm posting the two I did...The first I was lazy and didn't want to put any thought into color combo's so just used one Batik...BLAH....but not horrible...
Today I decided to put more thought into it and got a much better result...Colors with this camera not so good but Navy, Red, white, Gold, Brown and beige with stars

Nice ones! Like the Batik one as it is different from everyone else's.

Gorgeous! It was gorgeous the first time round and now it is even MORE GORGEOUS! The added colours liven up the block! Good choice.
