I had done some paper piecing many years ago - and it can be addicting! With some thinking and planning, you can get the neatest blocks/patterns which would be much more difficult with traditional piecing.
What I'd forgotten was just how frustrating, confusing and upside down and backwards it requires one to think!
This is a signature square (without border it's only a 3" square) I decided to use for a souvenir quilt I just made. It incorporates the fabrics from the quilt and was meant to form a heart.
As you can see, I almost immediately mixed up the fabrics! Not much of a heart here...but I did put my own heart into it!

The white area will have the information/dedication/signature written on it. Then it'll be appliqued onto the back of the quilt.
Meantime - I need a cup of tea! My synapses have had a nervous breakdown! But it was fun and I'll be doing some more paper piecing again soon.
