I've decided 2015 will be my year of trying new things. So thought I'd give paper piecing a go!
I won't lie I jumped straight in with the flamingoes eye and was ready to chuck him out the window by the end of that!!! I'm really glad that I persevered and am pretty happy with my efforts.
Check out quiet plays block for more information and the free pattern to have a go yourself (you only have until the end of January to get your flamingo free)
Well done! I think you did a great job! These patterns are so cute that I'm being tempted to start yet another project...... :)
ReplyDeleteHe looks fab! I also started with the eye, lol! I always start with the most difficult parts and then work myself downward. Makes it easier ;)
ReplyDeleteGood on you for jumping into 2015 with paper piecing! It really is a fun technique once you get the hang of it - and I promise even the tiny bits like the eye get easier with a bit of practice ;) Your block turned out fabulously!
ReplyDeleteHe looks just wonderful! It seems I do quite a bit of unpicking with paper piecing so glad not to do too much of it. Although it is very rewarding when it all lines up right!
ReplyDeleteI love how you decided to try something new this year!
