Working up any piece in small chunks seems to make it go easier and faster. It was that way with this Quilt Magic Poinsettia piece (#486), too. The 10 leaves were enough for one sitting.
Since the shapes are similar, I decided to cut all the papers first, but then cut the fabric for one leaf and tuck it into the area so I wouldn’t get confused about what went where.
I thought the smaller pieces would be easier. They weren’t. I cut the papers about 1/8″ smaller in order to reduce the amount of fabric to tuck.
