The fabrics are just some fat quarters I picked up from Spotlight. The yellow is really quite a mustard yellow and contrasts so well with the purple.
I really enjoyed this first serious attempt at paper piecing. I was a bit shocked at the wastage from the trimming after piecing a part of the block, but I guess that would improve with more accurate cutting of fabric. I was a bit haphazard with my cutting. Never been one of my strong suits. I will definitely make this block again, and attempt lots more paper piecing.
My plan is to make a pillow but I didn't really want to make a square pillow. I know this block doesn't really lend itself to a rectangular shape. So I'm not really sure how to proceed. Any suggestions anyone?
