Arcadia Avenue Block one

So here is January's finish. 

This project was kind of dizzying at first, but Sassafras lane had great fabric cutting directions. I was pleased to see very little waste fabric (relative to other paper piecing patterns). Piece 14 and 15 were kind of frustrating because the fabric piece was barely big enough to work. Stitches were ripped here, people!

After the first few slices I thought it was pretty fun. 

But it became quite tiring. Three slices was my max for one day. 

The center was a little bit of a bear, as you can see here. A couple of pins set it straight. Sassafras lane has posted a handy guide on perfect centers. 

Pretty happy with the outcome. 

Thanks for reading!
