I swore I'd never Paper Piece again, but this is incredible!

I've tried many times to PP, with terrible results. Just can't wrap my head around it. I stumbled on a Craftsy class called Quick Strip Paper Piecing by Peggy Martin and, with great skepticism, watched the intro and read the comments.
This method actually made sense to me, so I threw caution to the wind and signed up (on sale)...added to the fact that there is a section on New York Beauty and I've always wanted to try one.
Well....this woman is a genius! And a great teacher. So, if you're looking for an easy way to paper piece, give this a try.
Here's my first project....

Super beautiful !!!! I hate paper piecing with a capital H

I have every book Carol Doak authored, took a class with her, and know her personally so I was especially disappointed when I realized I don't like to PP. But maybe I'll revisit it!
You did a great job!!!

Really nice. I took a Judy Niemeyer class and it seemed hard to me. Took a Carol Doak class and really liked it.

Watson...lovely block.
You have piqued my curiosity. I always wanted to learn PP but the few tries I made were disappointing.
I am interested in the class. Is there closed captioning available with it? The preview does not have it.
