I love your jeweled forest trees. Thanks for sharing. I'll be waiting to see the finished project, too.

Actually this was my first time with paper piecing. The first ones took about 45 minutes each. It took some time to wrap my brain around always laying the fabrics right and sewing on the right side of the lines. Once it clicked I could spit them out in 15 minutes or less. It actually takes longer to pick the fabrics and I always press as I go. And talk about mess

) You can track me all through the house. LOL Hubby missed me so I got the bright idea that I would go to the family room and pick off the paper backing. It looked like a shreader had exploded. Hubby wanted to take a pic but I said no way. Once you get the hang of PP you can flat roll through them and if like me you will love the process. It is pretty cool to see all the exact points and the sharpness of the stitching. I love paper piecing.

So cool! And I just bought some of that blue starry fabric for my Americana sampler quilt. It's beautiful!
