This is the first of my mini quilt experiments. With the shop open, I feel some freedom to try out new styles and techniques, to branch out and play around, so I'm embarking on a set of little trials.
Now, paper-piecing is partly for the perfectionist and partly not at all. Crisp lines: yes. Efficient use of fabric: no. Cutting wonky oversized scraps is not for the Dutch or the stingy at heart, but the results are glorious! Straight lines, matching corners, lovely shapes and geometries. My heart is happy with the quilty results. And Sarah Rose's pattern was such a fun one to begin my adventure with.
Have you tried paper piecing before? What are your favorite modern paper-pieced blocks?
