Hexagon trivet and juice block paper piecing

This time i'm learning paper piecing from Ayumi Takahashi (Ayumi Mills) from Pink Penguin.

The first paper piece that i made is hexagon trivet. 

It appears in Ayumi's book Patchwork, Please !

From the picture, it looks difficult but once you got the hang of it is easy. ^_^

My second paper piecing project is a juice block that appears in her blogspot Pink Penguin.
I made coasters out of it. The only problem i face with this block is preparing the fabric for the straw. Because the straw needed to be sticthed diagonally, i couldn't just cut a straight strip. I cut a bigger fabric piece for the straw and make sure ths area that needed to be covered is well covered.
