Circle of Friends block #5

This is the 5th of 12 paper pieced blocks for Carol Doak's Circle of Friends BOM.

I know - I swore a year or so ago that I would NOT make another major paper pieced project.  But this one is only 1 block each month so it feels manageable.  And - my skills do need to improve. There are a couple of spots in this block that are not lined up perfectly, but I do like my color placement.  


So far I'm using that same black/multicolor print for the outer corners.  However it will only show up in the first 6 blocks because I don't have enough for all 12 blocks.  I have another black print to use in those corners, with dots in those same colors.  I noticed this is the first time I used orange in these blocks, so I'll need to make sure to use it again.

Beautiful blocks! Paper piecing is a challenge, but when you get blocks like that, it's all worth it.

Oh, wow! The intricacy of the blocks and the bright colors -- what a great combination!

Pretty blocks - almost looks like a kaleidoscope.
