    I finally taught myself paper piecing, and boy am I going crazy with it! I started with trees, made a bunch of them, and didn't know what to do with them! So I designed this quilt around them. It definitely has some design flaws, not the least of which are the direct result of running out of differnet colors of fabric as I went. But, I hung in there and got 'er done!

    Its georgeous and I love it. I love to paperpiece but it takes time and everytime I do another quilt with paperpiecing I have to make a couple of practice blocks in order to do it right

    I don't see any flaws. Very nice, wish I could design my own pattern instead of following all the rules. If it's not in front of me, I can't "see" it in my mind. Nicely done.

    What a nice combination of paper piecing and traditional blocks. I bet the guys holding it up for the photo are proud of your work too.

    Beautiful- It all looks like a picture from a book - I see no flaws or color problems. You should be very proud of it!
