While at Scotty Dog QS for fabric I received a little paper piecing pep-talk from store owner, Brenda Lou. If I remember correctly, she said she taught the very first paper piecing class here in Eureka seventeen years ago! So I headed home... thought about it for a couple of days and finally took a deep breath and dove in. Five or so hours later it's finished. This block stretched my abilities in quality of work and my attention span. I'm glad it's done and I'm glad Margaret chose it.

BTW...where in No. Calif?
I went to grad school in Davis 1993-1995
I participated in the first bday swap kate hosted, and i learned soooo much! It was the first time i tried paper piecing too, and though tearing off the paper is a pain, it was great to finally give it a try. I also tried applique, and designed my own paper pieced square. Its a great swap to stretch your abilities! And by the way...your block looks fabulous!!! Glad to see youre having as much fun as i did :) Thanks for sharing!
cheers~
