I have a very good friend in the area who is being very patient with me, teaching me as gently as she can! I really appreciate that.
Paper piecing is great way to use your scraps. It's also a great way to get all your points almost perfect.

There are a few flaws in it but nothing I can't overlook. I really struggled on this one trust me. I have a farmhouse standing by to do next.
This book by Alex Anderson was very helpful to me starting out.
