The paper piecing is fun, maybe you can just tackle a bit at a time while relaxing in the sun (if it's sunny there at least :), I think that's what I'll do with the other paper piecing projects.Alihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12495709613649753195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5938563145216054404.post-36610977513773555512012-07-15T21:53:00.791-07:002012-07-15T21:53:00.791-07:00Your work looks great!

I will definitely try the fabric basting for the Star Blossom project.<br /><br />I hope it's not too much easier though or I might be tempted to do a hexy quilt :o!Alihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12495709613649753195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5938563145216054404.post-57438232218700554902012-07-14T17:52:52.415-07:002012-07-14T17:52:52.415-07:00Thanks!
