Paper Piecing Lesson

On Saturday I taught a paper piecing lesson at the BMQG meeting.  Those of you who've followed my blog for a while know that I love paper piecing.  When the guild asked me to teach a lesson on it, I was honored to share my love of paper piecing with the guild.
This was the block that I taught.  I picked this one because it was fairly simple yet it allowed me to show several techniques, including piecing the four sections together.

I only had about an hour to show folks because we had lots of other exciting things going on, but I think hope it was enough time to give everyone a good sense of what to do. 

Here's the progress that some folks made.

This one will be a crazy pieced heart.

It was very rewarding to hear people express an "ah-ha" as I was explaining the method that I use to paper piece.  I really hope that I've inspired folks to at least attempt paper piecing.  I know it's not for everyone, but it's certainly worth a try.
