I figure if I can do it, anyone can.
Just give it a try. Start slow, go slow and you'll see, it's really easy!

Ruth,
Get some scraps from your stash and give it a try. If you wait until you think you can do it, you'll never start. :lol: You need to sit down at your sewing machine and sew the pieces as you read the instructions. I know you can do it. You're a quilter! :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:
Kelly,
This is at least one time when you shouldn't listen to your mom. There are many, many ways to quilt and piece fabric. Paper piecing is one of them. :-) :-) :-)

Ruth, you can do it...boy...if I can...anybody can! Do like me, take it really slow, think it through and oh yeah..keep that seam ripper close by or use scraps and keep the waste basket close.
Kelly, your blocks look great, you are having fun...what else do you need? Evidently, NOT wrong advice from you mother...UGH!

My mom came over today with some brown fabrics, so I'm ready to work on my Garden patch again. I have two gifts I need to finish, but hopefully by Friday they will be done and I will be able to work on the garden again!
Mom said some hurtful things about my finished pieces, but that is nothing new. I ate some ice cream, but that didn't really help.
hope everyone is having a great day!
hugs!

I am really into PP. I have just finished a wallhanging, but need to get the backing. So I"ll show you when it's totally done. I've made lots of blocks for my sample quilt and I love it. Kinda makes a mess on the floor, but that shows I"m working hard, huh? I found that it dulls my rotary cutter to trim the back seams, so I have a "dull one" just for that!

I love to paper piece I just don't like to tear it out. I could never be so accurate on the points if I didn't paper piece. I do it without paper piecing. I have the very first blocks I ever did without paper piecing. I think about 12. I really need to get them out and make a quilt with them. Maybe one day. :roll: :roll: But i probably will paper piece it. :lol: :lol:
