Yes, I still REALLY loathe paperpiecing! Everytime now as I peel away the itty bits from the back of these blocks, I swear it’ll be the last block I do that way. But I am just not a good enough machine piecer to wing it. *sigh*
Here is the fourth block I have completed, then shown below with the other three (CLICK TO ENLARGE)…
April's Atelier 
I can’t wait to see this put together…lovely fabric choices! I love the bottom left block.
I have always wanted to make a quilt but have never made the time. I have a 8 month old daughter now so I told myself I was going to make her one before she turns 1. I have a lot to learn and fast 🙂 Thankfuly I have a great neighbor who is going to help. Thank you for your great post and information!
I am pretty much self-taught, having no local friends who quilt. You’re lucky to have a helpful neighbor, and don’t forget to take advantage of YouTube to help you learn! 😀 There are some excellent books too to help give you a really good grounding. 🙂
