That said, it was still on the tricky side, but it didn't make me cry.<br /><br />Stunning block though, isn't it?<br /><br />Ooh that circle quilt pattern looks intriguing. Can't wait to see!Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01805403370463885686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8819822382900769742.post-36532473072361848692011-07-08T16:45:42.691+10:002011-07-08T16:45:42.691+10:00LOL.

It drives me nuts. Once I did a project where you had to foundation piece with the seams on the right side. OMG it was a nightmare. Glad Fanny Pfaff decided to co-operate. I agree they (the pfaff family) don't seem to like prolonged sessions! Good for you starting new projects - you will never be bored.

Perhaps to be a successfully quilter one has to be crazy? As you can see from my post today...I wonder why I continue to start YET another project as well.<br />I guess it just goes with the territory.<br />Love your foundation paper piecing and must admit this is something I have put off attempting. It looks great, well done.Sweet Peahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17175172836690042400noreply@blogger.com
