OK, back to the printer to give it another try! :lol:

Cute patterns! From my experience, I started paper piecing with a friend, and she was good at it. She recommended to me to not have many lines in a beginning project. I appreciated her advice, after I had done a couple. It can get frustrating to tackle something too difficult, and you have to take out. "Taking out," can be even more frustating as the paper tears, you have to tape it, then sew over the tape, ect.
I did some in a paper piecing book which has not many small seams, ect. I will be happy to look it up for your if you want. Just pm me;

I was able to teach myself with Carol Doakes beginner paper piecing book that I got from the library. I don't recall the actual name of the book, but it was very easy to follow and gave very clear step by step instructions. She has many patterns available and I really love a lot of them. They are not too complicated but very nice looking once you get them done.

Yes, those are some teeny-tiny pieces in that sun! If you can do that pattern without problems, I can now legally pronounce you a Paper Piecer! You are good to go! You have a very thoughtful DH to set up such a nice break for you! :lol:

Hello Moonange12! I have done several reginagrewe PP projects, free ones + have purchased her patterns as well. They are pretty easy to do, especially the one you referred to. I have made this one in different color combinations. I'm making her Mushroom blocks now (also free). Try her Tulips, it is lovely!
(Edit) Have you checked the Thimbleberries way to PP? Google thimbleberries tutorials. You fold the freezer paper, don't sew through it so there's no tearing off the paper which I hate.
