Sampler quilt block #2 - Stacked Blocks

I have finished the 2nd block for my sampler quilt - Stacked Blocks.

I think the first time I have ever done paper piecing was when I was in school, and if I remember right my mom finished it for me, I think it was for a pillow.  As a child I never liked sewing, and what amazes me is how much I enjoy it today.

I really find it hard to decide on the colours of the fabric.  I never really know what works together.  Although I like how it came out, I am not so sure about the printed fabric.  I still have to make quite a few blocks, I hope that when I put them all together it will look ok...  Click here to see the first block - Electric fan.
