These last few days I've been plugging away
on my paper piecing project,
determined to finish it and not put it in a box.
One thing with paper piecing...
it's very easy to sew for 5 or 10 minutes and accomplish something.
The sections are all pieced and ready to sew into stars.
It's a very tedious process,
but does give such preciseness to the design.
I do really like the bright colors used in this kit.
These sections will be sewn together and then the
dreaded part begins.
Tearing away the paper.
I think this is why I dislike paper piecing...
it's a mess taking off the paper.
I've gotten this far, though, so I will
keep plugging away on it.
Happy Quilting!
(Or tearing paper!)
Your star sections are fabulous! Tearing paper is definitely tedious and messy! I can't stand taking it out of seam allowances so I always remove it before sewing my sections together.
ReplyDeleteI am doing a similar star, just not as many pieces to it. This is going to be awesome!
ReplyDeleteI really like the dark and light variation in that star. It is going to be gorgeous. Are you ready to do a whole quilt of them now?
ReplyDeleteThat is one luscious stack of PPing! Tear them while watching TV or sitting outside on the patio listening to the chirping birds:) and dream of the next project while doing it.
ReplyDeleteYour progress is amazing. The EPP method makes it so precise. And I do like your colors. My guild does EPP to make our blocks for our raffle quilt. Using special tweezers made it really easy. However, I have checked 2 different national shows and couldn't find the same one.
ReplyDeleteI spritz the paper with water and let it sit for a few minutes. It makes the paper much easier to tear off.
