Great job! I have been toying with the idea of learning to paper piece. Did you use any particular resources that you would recommend?

Beautiful job! I have just recently discovered my love of paper piecing. I have to go slow, but I really enjoy it. And I don't even mind ripping the paper out. I even ordered 3 paper piecing books. God them all, now I need to get busy!

Such pretty work. You should join the group 50 Fabulous Paper-Pieced Stars. My first star there was my first time ever doing PP and I admit it was a disaster. But I fixed it and moved on

everyone is so helpful. I know there are other groups and PP swaps. I've found it's so fun to join in. Thank you for sharing.

I learned 2 very big lessons:
#1 - Pay attention to what fabric goes where.
#2 - Pay attention which way you lay the fabric over the space you are covering or when you fold it back it will not be covering the space that it should.

If you don't do #1 and #2 then you will get to know your seam ripper really well....
