And if it makes you feel any better, still happens to me on occasion - even after all the paper piecing I've done! <br /><br />Definitely stick with it! It's one of those techniques it just takes a bit of practice to get the hang of. <br /><br />But your block does look great - love your fabric choices!Kristy @ Quiet Playhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12676231528874212575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4902503112918417582.post-45413846300901372282013-01-11T21:07:25.737+00:002013-01-11T21:07:25.737+00:00What about trimming off the left side and making y...What about trimming off the left side and making your block a little narrower?

I remember the first time I made a meringue roulade 6 egg whites I think, it didn't come out bad but it went wrong, when I tried to roll it so I went out and bought more eggs used a different tin and did it again straight away I was so glad I did because this time it worked really well, as they are saying keep going you'll get there x<br />Shirleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06973602477081090162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4902503112918417582.post-39815501317425075362013-01-11T15:10:12.580+00:002013-01-11T15:10:12.580+00:00I had a terrible time learning how to paper piece,...I had a terrible time learning how to paper piece, until I sat down with someone and watched her do it. THEN - it clicked :) Keep trying - wheh you get it, it'll be an AHA!!! moment :D But I still have occasional fabric oopsies when I'm doing it - I think its because we're working backwards ... and acute angles take FAR more fabric than you would think! ;)Sandra :)https://www.blogger.com/profile/16239494415344028806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4902503112918417582.post-53031311564524319592013-01-11T15:01:21.075+00:002013-01-11T15:01:21.075+00:00Wot Jane said...

However I forced myself to try a third time and it worked beautifully and now I paper piece more often then "normal" piece and actually enjoy it of all things! Much nicer than measuring out things and cutting precisely, I don't even have to stick to a 1/4" seam.
