    Great job! I love red and white together too. It's always striking looking.

    You did a great job on your practice piece!
    I will agree....anyone who hasn't tried it, HAS to try it. It's really NOT that hard! Heck, if I can do it, ANYONE can!

    Tonight I got my nerve up and started one of the Courthouse Steps blocks for this wallhanging. It has 29 pieces and measures 6" square! Took me well over an hour, and I need to make 20 of them. And then there are other blocks as well. So I don't think you'll be seeing my finished project anytime soon!

    I was fairly pleased with the block I made. The middle was kind of wonky, but I figure that will just make it look "rustic"! Those of you who haven't tried paper piecing need to jump in and give it a shot--it's really fun to see the block develop as you add pieces, and the points and corners are pretty nearly perfect!
    I cannot wait to see them--will you please post some pics for us?

    I found a decent picture online of the wallhanging I'm (theoretically) going to make--or at least attempt to make. I'll post some pictures of my progress a little later.
