Congrats you are on your way to pp. Hope you found it fun to do. :)

Judy, yes I found it so much fun. :)

Well done on sticking with it. It took me ages to be able to get my head around working backwards.

Good for you. PPing can be either a huge frustration or a delight of accuracy. Now that it has "clicked" , I look forward to seeing other things from you. Dresden plates are a great use for PPing, half at a time. My first 'serious' job was a Mariner's Compass, because a dying friend asked for one.

Looks good.

Nice block. Paper piecing is great fun. I do like the look you achieved by keeping the background pattern going the same way. It would be so easy to miss that element. It makes an eye pleasing block. Have fun with your new skill.

great start, be careful, it is addictive

I can see how it would become addictive. :)

Looks really nice.

Thanks everyone for all the nice comments. I can't wait to try some more, and one day show a 'Mariner's Compass.'
