Have you ever heard of paper piecing? Basically, you have a paper template on which you sew the individual pieces of fabric. I just finished paper piecing this beautiful block together... (excuse the yellowish tint of my dining room lamp but I couldn't wait until the morning to show you!)
I admit it is gorgeous! I love how I am able to put such an intricate (at least to me!) block together which I normally wouldn't even attempt otherwise. But what I really don't like is the time it involves. It took me 1.5 hrs start (sewing) to finish (tearing of the paper) just for this one block and I still have 4 more to go! It takes a lot of fabric and it leaves a huge mess as you can see in this photo:
That is all just from one block... I am still on the fence on if it is worth it!?!
Do you like it?
Take care,
Me
