Good morning all.
After spending a good part of this past weekend working on my sampler quilt (20 blocks down, 36 to go!), I had a brainwave (yes I know, it doesn't happen every day). One of the blocks in my quilt (from quilter's cache) is the Dolly Madison star. It is part paper pieced. And it turned out beautifully. Now I am not a great paper piecer, so bear with me. The only paper piecing I have ever done is log cabin and now this star. It sure makes it easier to join all those tiny triangles. So I was wondering: what are the limits of paper piecing? Can it be applied to any block that does not have curved lines? Is it worth it to paper piece rather that to join pieces without paper piecing? THe next block I will be facing (also from quilter's cache) is the double star chain. It has a zillion little triangles. It is not paper pieced in the quilter's cache, but I was wondering if it wouldn't make sense to paper piece it.
What are your opinions?
Thanks
Claudia
