I started a DJ project about 15 yrs ago and dug these out of a cabinet...thought you might enjoy a couple of 4" blocks. I made a few duplicates when I started... I appliqued the corners 'cause I didn't know what to do with the little corners...

Anael--I see you have a "new" signature quote!!
Carrie, your fabric choices are beautiful.
Bev--I just compared, it is but without the little tiny square in the corner. Fantastic Honchey!

Yes Bev, it must be it's the same as the one in PC. I just noticed the similarities... I actually basted the 2 sides down before I placed it on the corner then appliqued it in place..apparently at the time I didn't know what to do with it...it's so funny now 'cause when I look at it the 4 corners are actually raised above the rest of the block...I'll have to fix it being i know how to do it now...those blocks were my first attempt at pping with no instructions...

OK, I have never joined a group like this before as I'm not a very experienced quilter and I'm like really, really slow. However, it sounds like it will be a lot of fun so I'm going to give it a go and hope I can keep-up.
I have never attempted to do paper piecing. I keep reading about it here on the board and have been wanting to learn. Will there be instructions for doing this in the book we will be using? Also, will I need any type of supplies other than those used in normal quilting? For example, is a special type of paper required?

I'm doing the 10 inch. I have enough issues with large pieces, I can't imagine how I would cope with the small ones. Yesterday I had to rip out one section 3 times. Sigh.
I'm doing 2 of each block-one will be fabric I picked out, the other will be the fabric my one true love picked out. It is going to be scrappy and quite disjointed I imagine (I like florals and tile patterns, he is a bold geometric kind of guy).
I can't wait to see everyone's pictures!!!!!!!!!!

As far as the type of paper you use, there are a variety. Everyone has one they prefer. I like newsprint. I buy the "Scribble Pad" at Hobby Lobby & then cut it down (I think it's 9 X 12) to fit my printer. I've tried others but come back to the newsprint. I love the "Add 1/4" rulers.
If you run into problems, please let us know! We are all here to encourage & support each other.
