Well that is until I made this last quilt and found out I had reversed that first block. ;-) Those blocks had to be precise in the color placement. <br /> I'm going to keep in mind what you've explained the next time I have to be specific about the direction of the pattern.

Then I was that stupid again and ended up buying a book with CD from Carol Doak - changed my stupidity to where it actually finally made sense to me. As much as I like the precision of paper piecing, I stick to smaller projects as I just feel it takes more time than 'traditional' piecing and I do dislike Katie M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09538545754383438552noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3925958115318632100.post-89947036952240999762013-07-31T04:42:03.386-07:002013-07-31T04:42:03.386-07:00how funny I've just come across you blog and r...how funny I've just come across you blog and read your first post - I am a leftie and just tried foundation paper piecing for the first time recently in a class - it was a complete disaster!!
