I agree with Donna! I love that mini. It is so peaceful for some reason. I really like paper piecing. I know there is more waste, but with the way I do a 1/4 inch, I actually save fabric!!! lol That is because I get disgusted and end up throwing blocks away when I just do plain piecing. :) Tammy
Bea, I'm not sure if you also do it this way, but when I made my crane quilt, I cut all of my fabric into strips. So, when I made each pp block, I would use the different size strips. It cut down on waste quite a lot. Your cranes look great! Did you design the pattern yourself? I am still removing the paper foundations from the back of mine, getting it ready to quilt. Pam

Bea that's beautiful. I love the way you done the sashing and border, it has a watercolor effect.

Yes! Please do tell us where you got your PP pattern! I've been thinking of trying paper piecing and this design looks worth the trouble.
