Tricia from Magic Indigo sent this to me a long time ago. and i promised to work around it and send it back. i am as slow as a snail, but when she won the indigo draw, i thought what if i get going and work on it and send it with her prize? this piece was done in the true english paper piecing method, some of the paper was still in. i removed one piece to use as a template. i have done paper piecing before but i thought what if i use my paperless method of piecing?
the template is simple cut from paper and used temporarily to iron around. the paper is removed before sewing. less paper, less time, and i find that when the paper is left in it is much harder to adjust ill sized sides and ease the seams together. (and it works for any shape)
i am varying the pinks around the new ring. to give it some variation. pinks from Nellie.
this is a gift so i will finish it up on the other blog.....
