I'd never heard that saying " Comparison is the thief of Joy", it's a good one to think of as we're looking around in blogland and seeing so many amazing things. I have a love / hate relationship with paper piecing, it can drive me mad but i love the results. Are you using the Kaffe Fasset Pickle Dish pattern?Rachaeldaisyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15437603769773251690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5297789041481934828.post-45777990933521546992013-04-06T06:28:40.616-07:002013-04-06T06:28:40.616-07:00Oh, I do love your random piece which does not loo...Oh, I do love your random piece which does not look at all random to me.

The moderns are nice too, but I do prefer these. <br />I work with a charity group and we get heaps of donated orphan blocks. I made up a quilt top late last year, which used a heap of these orphans. It was quite a challenge. Not only all different sizes, but all different colourways as well! I used homespun in a mulberry colour in a uniform size to sash every block & tie it all together, and used lots of squares & strips to fill in the blanks. It actually looked quite good in the end, but I tore my hair out doing it. LOL<br />There are still quite a few blocks left, so I was looking at them the other day thinking I should launch into them. On the back burner for the moment.<br />DashaDashahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17415154217182640049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5297789041481934828.post-622694147811962192013-04-06T00:13:44.121-07:002013-04-06T00:13:44.121-07:00I have taken 2 courses in paper piecing and have n...I have taken 2 courses in paper piecing and have not touched it since.... don't know if I ever will, so many projects to do that do not use this method,I guess.

On the other hand, your sampler is just wonderful. You are doing an amazing job, and I love your fabric choices (even if you are running with the wrong crowd...what a hoot!) Actually, after seeing your blocks, it makes me wish I had chosen more traditional colors for my own. Maybe I'll have to make another one!

The other thing I do is work smaller sections. Sometimes that works, sometimes not. I think you've got a great start. Lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11922051522442269976noreply@blogger.com
