I’ve done paper piecing in the past, but never one this complex. It took me about 5 hours to make the two blocks. Yes. 5 hours. The first couple of segments took me the longest but by the end I had a system down and I was flying through them. I do admit that the afternoon I was working on these I was not on my A-game so to speak. I ended up having to rip out 3 seams. Paper piecing and seam ripping don’t really go together.
The finished quilt is going to be stunning though!
