    "I did this before I found out that paper piecing was hard. Ignorance is bliss.
    All hand quilted."

    ...I think you did a great job, I have avoided learning paper piecing as it looks like it requires alot of patiences and I am short on those...lol.

    Very pretty! The colors are perfect for leaves and your quilting is lovely. I have seen where people say PP is easy, others say it's hard. I haven't tried it yet but there's a cute PP wall hanging pattern in my Quiltmaker magazine this month that I think I'll try my hand at. I reckon I'll find out real quick whether I think it's hard or easy. :)

    I pre-washed all the fabric, but that tight weave is hard to push through.

    I don't like paper piecing either although I have to admit it does make for some sharp points! Really pretty quilt.

    I love it! The fact that you both paper-pieced and hand quilted is amazing. Hats off to you!
