    (Hand Flies UP!!) Me!! I really like it, but haven't done too terribly much of it. I mostly do machine piecing. I hope to do a whole quilt of paper pieced blocks soon!!

    I like paper piecing along with regular piecing. Different patterns call for that special method and I enjoy it. Kinda like putting a puzzle together.

    I like to paper piece and have done a few large projects. But......... it requires much THINKING on my part so I can't do it with anyone around.

    I'm signed up for a retreat where we will be doing a method of paper piecing where you do not have to tear the paper out. Will be interesting to see how that is done. Taking the paper out was the one thing that kept me from doing a lot of paper piecing.

    I love, love to PP. There are many websites to get patterns. I even look at a pattern & think how can it be PP. I sometimes draw my own template, copy & print.

    Has anyone found paper that is cheap to use instead of reg. copy paper for printer? I found a kid's drawing tablet but the paper was too thin.
