Then I joined a block swap for an alphabet of blocks (I did H is for House) and well, the directions were for the blocks to be appliqued and I don't have a fancy, expensive machine. After 26 houses, my applique technique was a whole lot better, and consequently I enjoyed the process a lot more! So I'm hoping that with enough practice, my paper-piecing technique will improve and therefore I will enjoy it more than I do now.<br /><br />It looks like a nice book - I love Mariner's Compass and I love Stars. I would enjoy giving the blocks in the book a whirlJo in Scotlandnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5824554059843705380.post-22092831551768796342010-09-05T17:01:51.085-07:002010-09-05T17:01:51.085-07:00I couldn't help but smile when you said you sh...I couldn't help but smile when you said you shouldn't have bought this book. I can't believe how many books I just "had to have," only to let them sit on a shelf for years after that. I sold most of those in a couple of garage sales. That being said, I DO like paper piecing, and this is a book I don't have.Louise in Iowanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5824554059843705380.post-78633143469064752792010-09-05T15:37:37.834-07:002010-09-05T15:37:37.834-07:00I agree with QIMP and Sarah, it looks great but n...I agree with QIMP and Sarah, it looks great but not for me.
