My first paper pieced project was just such a challenge. I was frustrated at times. When I finished I noticed the pattern said it was for "someone with paper piecing experience!" Not quite advanced but close! But I did it!!!

I have to brag here now... I measured my Blazing Arrow block yesterday after I'd posted it. I want you all to know that it measured a perfect 12 1/2" without my stretching, ironing, trimming or anything! It's a first!!! I have never ever ever had this occur before in my quilting career! I must have learned something along the way now!!! Ta-daa!!! :D Don't ask how I achieved this perfect block because I have no idea! It will probably never happen again. But I am so proud to have one perfect block!!

Carla, I've added your name to the list. We don't let anyone have a chance to change their minds around here. Kathy's name is just waiting to go on soon, I'm sure!

ignore Chicken Little and add her to the list. she will surely catch up by the time it's her turn to pick a block. :wink:

i will keep reading the comments and keep them in mind as i decide what to recommend for the next block.

Good Job, Patrice! ...ehhhh, I mean Tim!

I like the way you use your colors.

Once again I am forced to realize color value is key. (How many more times am I going to have to learn this particular lesson, one wonders.) Back to the ol' drawing board for me!
