So........After a training on paper piecing and a sample...I was ready to tackle my first ever block with Paper piecing!
Midget Block #1: Ohio Star was paper-pieced, while Midget block #2: Indian Star, Kansas City Star wasn't (icky measurements, though.....1 5/8" squares). Both ended up being a smidge smaller than 5" (4.5" finished), so if I continue just being a smidge shy with every block, I'll be just fine....And then comes block #3....another paper-pieced block...
.............
Okay-----I'm REALLLLLLLY HOLDING BACK MY SCREAM!!!!You have GOT to be kidding me!!!!!!!!!!!!
Diligently (and SLOWLY), the block WILL see a finish today! But, this is as far as I got---my body needs refueling, so I'm up making some lunch (good ol' classic pizza) and giving my blog an update...

I am glad you are learning to do it so you can teach me! I saw a great project last night--that I said-no way! I don't know how to do that. Looks to me like a great winter time community ed class!
OK, are you just trying to get the rest of us to have more UFO's, too??? What's up with that???
Of course, I have been eyeballing a BOM with small blocks like this.... Darn you, Amy!!! :-D
You are too cute.... passing the UFO crown to you.
Huggers!
I am so excited that you made two midget blocks! They are so adorably cute. Don't look at it as the beginning of another UFO. Just make them until you get too sick of them to make more and then turn it into a quilt. Who said it had to be a certain size or have all of the blocks in it? Now I am inspired and headed off to make number two. I think these must be done in order to avoid skipping to the easy ones.
