X string quilt block for Jolly Jabber Quilt Block Lottery

I’ve been wanting to try my hand at paper piecing for a while (as I mentioned earlier today), so tonight, I did.

Here’s an X string block. This block is made from leftovers from a honey bun of Hello Betty from my friend Adria (which, by the way, I’m so sick of this fabric! I made a quilt top, a few pillows and now this block from it!).  I’m going to send it in for FatQuarterShop’s Jolly Jabber Quilt Block Lottery. Just have to get to the post office at some point to mail it.

Anyway… there was one place that didn’t turn out so hot. I’d also like to try this a few more times as practice before I make a real quilt…so maybe I’ll make little zipper bags from the resulting blocks instead. I need to get my edges to line up a lot better.
