Wonderful! PP is the way to go if you want sharps points. Congrats on making your own patterns too.

Beautiful and yes, paper piecing is wonderful.
My first paper pieced block was the Hunter's Star.

Hunters Star one of 30 blocks

Your blocks are incredible. I love the colors. Did you have to "fussy" cut the gold fabric in order for it to turn out the way it did with the curves? It looks like the sun peeking through! Would you consider sharing your instructions for these blocks?
