You did great! You get the concept, so that's huge! I have to practice the concept every week or so to remember how to do it! It's so backward to me!
So many great suggestions too. I ordered some of the paper Klue recommended. I've tried quite a few, but they are usually so hard to rip off!

Great job with pp. I LOVE pp, and have muddled my way through a couple pieces. I had more problems with making sure my pieces were large enough. I finally decided larger was way better than ripping out those tiny stitches, and it is way more fun now! It is so fun because the finished product is so precise! :lol:

You did such a good job----and this is only your first time??
Like many others this is a technique I've yet to try. Maybe one day I'll get to take a class on it. In the meantime I can live vicariously thru your projects.

I do LOTS of paper piecing and can't stand to work with tiny pre-cut fabrics. I like to cut a strip close to the width I'll need and then trim it after I make my seam. My hands don't work well enough to handle small pieces and if I just keeping using my strip, I don't waste much fabric.
There are lots of neat paper-piecing patterns online. Give it another try- it just takes practice.
