My first attempt at paper piecing

I have wanted to try paper piecing for a while now, and today was the day. I downloaded a beginner block from the Carol Doak website and this is the result. Just a block to hang on the wall over my sewing machine. By no means perfect, but it is a beginning. I can see how this could become addicting. LOL

You did really well ! I am addicted to paper piecing... so many possibilites that would not be easliy done ( or done at all)using conventional piecing methods.
Don't you just keep looking at the points and marveling!
