i haven't done much paper piecing, and while i love the end result, i always feel like i am wasting so much fabric!! does anyone else struggle with that? my precious fabric. not like i don't have any to spare!
anyways, we have 2 of these blocks to make, and i have the 1st pieced and ready to stitch together. they come together fast, really, and the pretty points make it all worth while. but i cringed every time i cut the excess fabric off. so i can't say i thoroughly enjoy making them :) i'm such a miser!!

| hey, it's a start :) |
it looks like rain today, so after preschool i should be able to knock the rest of the 2nd block out. wish me luck!

I love it!
I love paper piecing:) I did a circle of geese a few days ago. There are small pieces left over,but not too many big ones. I didn't start off with big ones either though.
Drooling over ur star;)The perfect points are such a winner in my eyes!
I'd be cringing too. Just call me Scrooge McFabric. It looks awesome though!
I agree! I don't like the waste involved with paper piecing, but your block is stunning!
I love this star. I get annoyed with the waste, but love the results! This is gorgeous!
