    Default lesson learned about paper piecing

    learned my lesson the hard way. Forgot the seam allowance as I was too eager to trim my blocks. Well they're only scraps. Going to try now the phone book pages.lesson learned about paper piecing-scrap-quilt-copie.jpg

    Your blocks are still very nice. Yes, the seam allowances are important so you don't lose the tips of your stars. Barb

    We have all made that mistake! Live and learn as they say.

    Nice blocks, I have also taken up paper piecing, making my first quilt with paper piecing, it's addicting for me anyway.

    That will make a wonderful scrap quilt though. I like your blocks.

    Oh, I love your fabrics! I have such trouble paper piecing that I've given up finishing a really pretty quilt with that method. Maybe I've made all the mistakes there are to make and it will be easier next time! I hope you make more blocks like this they are so pretty.
