Paper Piecing Headache!

I'm working on a pattern called "Autumn in America"--bought it

a zillion years ago --when I saw the front cover, it looked

like a really neat quilt, especially to display in the fall months--

and of course, it was on sale--another reason to purchase!

Little did I know--that the pattern included MANY

paper pieced blocks!

Several months ago, I pulled out the pattern and begin

to do the ones that were actually pieced--put the whole thing

away for some time until recently I began work on it again

The paper pieced blocks--some are only 3' or less--and for the

border--56 four inch (4") maple leaf blocks are required--

all to be paper pieced!!  I'm thinking on that block--

in the meantime, I worked on these star blocks--you get

lots of loose scraps of paper and little bits of fabric

are used--so time consuming!

Thank goodness, there were only 3 of these small blocks--

I'm still thinking on those 4" maple leaf blocks---

maybe, redesign the borders----

hmmmmm
