First attempt at paper peicing

So I signed up for the Craftsy 2012 block of the month class.  I watched through all the videos and decided to attempt the paper piecing block first. It's on my list of things to try, and I had some time yesterday so i gave it a shot.

 
I just used some scraps I had. I'm thinking I will turn it into a mini quilt and maybe practice some free motion quilting on it. So excited it turned out. There are a few spots were the pieces weren't quite big enough, but most should be in seams. I will definitely be adding this to my ever growing "want to make" list to make a whole quilt out of these squares.

  2. Nice work! My first is the green and purple block (I think it shows up as my profile picture?). I love the block you made, a circle of geese is so neat! Definitely on my list of things to make :-)

  5. It looks great! I want to try that block too. I just finished a PP quilt...it was a lot of work. I'm sure this design would be more work. =) Visiting from Let's Get Acquainted. Have a great day.

    1. Thanks! A whole quilt would be a lot of work for this block, at least for me. It would definately be one of the wip that last a while. =)
