Mary's Friendship Circle

People seemed so intrigued by the strange angles of the sneak peak for Mary's block! Well, here's the whole picture. It's a block called Friendship Circle that utilizes paper foundation piecing. It was my first foray into that technique, and I must say I really had fun with it! The colors are actually more teal than they show here.

    I love this block and found it on line! I will probably make this for another bee.

    Absolutely beautiful!! Paper foundation piecing is something I haven't ventured into yet.

    I love it! I really want to do some paper piecing but my first attempt was such a nightmare I am reluctant to have another go - but your block has inspired me to add it to my 'List of things to try this year'. Thank you. Caroline

    Wow, that is pretty stunning. I too may have to have a go at paper piecing.

    Thanks for the inspiration.

    Wow, I love this block. But I too, have had nightmarish experiences with my attempts at paper piecing. Maybe some day I'll try again. Beautiful block!
