I was trying to duplicate her method of a center and two outside layers of petals with smaller flowers of only one layer of petals but it confused me. While I like randomness, I also love balance, and it has been tricky for me to figure out how to have both with one piece at a time. Your instructions to get started were very clear and I am looking forward to reading and learning more from you as I progress. Much more helpful than the quilting books I was trying to use.

Punch a hole in the center with regular hole punch to facilitate removal of the paper. I use a tiny binder clip to clip one side of the fabric and paper together. I just whip stitch the corners on the wrong side. My thread does not show on the front side. Not necessary to remove stitches this way.Claudia 0712https://www.blogger.com/profile/03400921753133378942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4035755590833291625.post-39848240315209993652019-05-29T00:26:03.302+10:002019-05-29T00:26:03.302+10:00Oddly enough, I find pressing/ironing fabric is re...Oddly enough, I find pressing/ironing fabric is relaxing.

It's been a big thing here in KY for a while. Just so happens 2 nights ago our Quilting Guild had a hands on lesson for paper piecing. The kit she gave us including squares of fabric which can be cut faster with rotary cutter. The backs don't look even neat like yours. I noticed you use paper. Is that easier to remove or do you bother taking it out? The verdict is out for me as I had a hard time making these because of my hands and poor eye sight.JOY @ http://joysjotsshots.blogspot.com/https://www.blogger.com/profile/03560982218076503012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4035755590833291625.post-433673152661643062015-11-20T02:25:50.293+11:002015-11-20T02:25:50.293+11:00I've been resisting the hexy craze because it&...I've been resisting the hexy craze because it's too much handwork for me, but I do love the look of stacks of pretty colourful little jewels of hexyness (hexiness?) :DSandra :)https://www.blogger.com/profile/16239494415344028806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4035755590833291625.post-13144088691315572062015-11-19T21:28:12.017+11:002015-11-19T21:28:12.017+11:00This comment has been removed by the author.Nanny@nannynotes2uhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16965317064176315568noreply@blogger.com
