I was going through my Christmas magazines last night and came across a project I decided to make for the Challenge. It is paper piecing, and I have never done that before so this will be a learning experience as well. This is what I have so far:
Can you tell what it is?
So far what I think about paper piecing is that it seems to me I am wasting fabric. It's probably because I am new at it and haven't figured out how to judge how much I need. However, I will carry on and see how it turns out. It's another mind bending exercise that my little brain appreciates.
Have fun today.
Good for you in not only taking on the challenge, but challenging yourself with a new technique as well. I would say that looks like the center of a flower.
ReplyDeletePaper piecing is one of the arts I, so far, have "observed." I'm very interested in learning how you like the process - especially the paper removal. Happy quilting.
ReplyDeleteYour project looks very interesting...but no guesses coming from me! Will look forward to seeing your progress!
ReplyDeleteI am not a fan of paper piecing but love the results.
ReplyDeleteYou're doing a great job Joanna! Paper-piecing does seem to waste more fabric, but once you get more familiar with it, you get better at judging the size of the pieces you need. Don't try to get too frugal though - it will bite you - ask me how I know LOL!!!
ReplyDeleteI love paper piecing, but still find I can either use pieces of fabric that are way too big, or too small.
ReplyDeleteAre you making an angel? Or a choir-boy I wonder.
