Kelly, paper piecing is not cheating:)I know for I thought the same thing and said it outloud like an idiot at a quilting group...! Okay, I went home and adding more blonde highlights after that conversation because I deserved to look lighter:))LOL I honestly thought that because it is easy for me to do too and assumed it was for everyone. But, not so. So, tell mom...unless she wants to be really blonde, not to repeat that statement either:)) I am now educated on that not being so:))And, if you enjoy it...do it:0)I love to paper piece and find it really relaxing!

If you love paper piecing, check out this woman's site. You won't believe some of the blocks she has.
And check out her mystery quilts too. This is a German site.
She's got some of the best paper pieced patterns on the web.

I called my mom and asked her to explain paper piecing over the phone and that night I started, within 3 days everything, but the quilting was done. I have decided to hand-quilt it, but since it has been so hot I put it away until the fall. I'm making it for our future son (we are planning to adopt as soon as our homestudy is complete and we find a mother looking to make an adoption plan), just in case the baby is a girl I'm also going to make a butterfly quilt (we will be thrilled with a boy or a girl, but since we have two girls, it would be nice to have a little boy). I had so much fun making the airplanes that I started looking for other paper piecing patterns. The next one I started was "Garden Patch", which is so much fun!!!! I can't wait to finish it!!!! Lack of fabric has been my problem. The sample quilt they show looks amazing, so I'm trying to make it similar....not exact or even close, but similar. Like each plant uses different greens, and different browns....so coming up with that many greens and that many browns has been hard. Brown is my struggle right now. Since I need so little I don't want to go and buy, so I'm hoping to find some in my mom's stash. Just need to find the time to go and dig through it all! In the meantime I'm working on another Table Topper that I'm giving as an anniversary gift to my hubby's aunt this upcoming Saturday.
Hope everyone is having a great night!
Hugs!
