    I can't do PP as I am left-handed and somewhat dyslexic. I have tried many, many times, but no go.

    I also hate PP. Always have areas not covered. Hate it. But, after reading your post and seeing your beautiful project, I'm going to watch for the class on sale. Thanks for the class recommendation.

    I bought a Carol Doak book and DVD and don't have the courage to PP. It didn't feel logical. Your star is amazing. Like others I might try it again.

    Your block is beautiful. I love how you fussy cut the points. I absolutely love paper piecing. I have done a lot of Carol Doaks blocks. I did all of her 50 paper pieced stars with a group on here. That is my avatar. I would love to make a Judy Niemeyer or a Jacqueline de Jonge quilt. The only Judy Niemeyer class they have had around here was during the week and I couldn't go.

    Your block is beautiful. You did a great job. I recognize some of the fabric. Is it from a Craftsy kit or fabric you had?

    You did a way good job. I think with most PP directions, you have to be a tad dyslexic to get it. Good to hear there's a class that helps and makes sense.! Congrats on mastering this technique.
