Go Ninnie! What a great paper pieced top! You did great!

beachlady 05-31-2010 03:47 AM

Ninnie, that is gorgeous. I went to Carol Doak's website the other day and printed off a free pattern she had there, but have no idea where to start. I am a visual person, so guess I just need to take a class or 2 or 3!!

They are so much fun for sure. when you start putting those small blocks together and start seeing the pattern, isn't it just surprising, :D I love the secondary designs that show up.

marla 05-31-2010 04:50 PM

Yes. It is a lesson in color placement for sure!

I have done several paper pieced projects and it takes several squares before you get it, anyway it did for me.Try some samples and keep at it once it clicks, you'll be amazed.

Great paper piecing! The rose fabric looks stunning with the red.

Rainy Day 06-01-2010 04:54 AM

Ninnie, you are a genius with color, it is beautiful.

Ninnie 06-01-2010 10:58 AM

Thanks, I think the rose material is what makes the quilt also.

mytwopals 06-02-2010 09:47 AM

beachlady, beware!!!

every time you turn around, she's selling that dvd to someone else. that's how she sucked me in. do you think she's making a commission?
