    Ok, so I bought a pattern for a kitty wallhanging and it had PP blocks. I had not tried that yet so I just used some scraps to try it out before using the "good" stuff.

    Here is what I learned: when you don't pay attention to getting the right sides together it is REALLY hard to rip those tiny stitches!!!

    But even #1 turned out usable which was a big surprise to me!
    So I made 3 and turned into a runner.

    And a good one for the kitty lovers!

    Love you learning Project. Looks like you had a few distractions. The only thing better than a cat is 2!

    Look at you go! Most people don't master paper piecing that quickly. Great job! Love your attack kitties too.

    Thanks Chele!

    I haven't been quilting long but I have been sewing for 46 years, mostly clothing.

    I was going to make potholders but when the very 1st block was actually usable I thought of a runner instead. I will use it for a hostess gift to DIL when I visit next month.

    And I will never confess to it being my very 1st three blocks of paper piecing!
