That must be why I enjoy paper piecing. It is a challenge to me and if I just do it right (don't sew the wrong side of the fabric to the right side, Tanya) then usually the result is a block. Paper piecing uses up tiny scraps but then again, for that same purpose I end up saving tiny scraps for the next "someday" paper piecing project. That's why I've got a basket of crumbs that are multiplying. Paper piecing is a one day puzzle fix for me. I've had my fix thanks to Paper Panache.
What do you think this is going to be?
Hint one: This is for Nancy, Near Philadelphia.
Hint two:
And here is the finished block.
This goes in the mail to Nancy on Monday.

That is so cute!!
I'm a new reader to your blog and I'm thoroughly enjoying reading about your life and quilting.
God bless, Mary in Texas
Oh my goodness! I love it!
I'm making a block for her too, they'll be good company.
The 1st picture totally tricked me. I thought it's going to be something about hinamatsuri doll or something. But the second hint was so clear. "Moo" leads to "Cow" directly. But how those puzzle become a cow? I kept puzzled untill I saw the finished picture of it. And it turned out to be a beautiful cow indeed. Pretty. ;)
WOW - that looks great. I'm sure that Nancy will flip when she sees it. Nice job.

That turned out beautifully, Tanya! I hate paper piecing myself - AND puzzles, lol.
Tanya, That cow is as cute as can be. I love it!!!! I know Nancy will be delighted.
I hope you are also visiting the "Claudia's Quilts" web site. She has wonderful foundation pieced patterns.
Looks like a Paper Panache mystery?
I have never tried one. I do love paper piecing and have even made a queen sized Odd Fellows Star and several others from Cindi Edgerton's patterns.
Very nice colors. and those lashes!
Delightful!
Tanya, you made a treasure.
That's wonderful, I love things that have a touch of humour about them and this certainly fits the bill. I'm a puzzler too, and like you prefer those puzzles that I know I can get to if I work at it logically. I'm not too keen on cryptic crosswords though, my brain doesn't seem to work that way.
that is awesome!
Elsie? LOL She's a cutie. :-)
The cow is sew CUTE! Great job.
When you paper piece, your needle becomes dull as it passes through extra layers that often include paper.
That is just too cute! Nancy will love it! If she doesn't, send it to me!
