Paper piecing

When I started making this piece it was going to be a small wallhanging. When I got to the point where I had to make 2 more paper pieced sections, I just couldn't do it. I had to find a way to use the pieces I had and be done with it. After a little playing around this is what I ended up with. It is a good size for a table centerpiece.

Here is a closeup view after it was quilted.

And here are the leftovers, that little pile of tiny scraps left after trimming during the paper piecing process. I used a pink metallic thread for both the quilting and the edge so it was hard to photograph it. Maybe I'll try without a flash next time.
