I am really into tone on tone pieces so I LOVE that you used texture for contrast in this piece. One of my favorites!

I'm taking this course too, but I've yet to start my first project. I'd better get cracking to see if I can produce such beauties. Paper piecing has not been my forte.

Thank you for your videos - it was wonderful to learn how to do paper piecing with the strip method. Already to make some of your other quilts in your course.
