It's been great seeing everyone's blocks so far - they are all fabulous.

Foundation Factory is software from Quiltpro.com, and there are different modules you can buy. Several of them are companions for Carol Doak's books. Each is around $20, but sometimes on sale for $14.95. You can download it instantly! With FF there are no instructions or cuttting charts, BUT you can print the block any size and the seam allowances are correct. With the book, I often enlarge or reduce the patterns with my printer/copier, but then I have to adjust the seam allowances, which also get enlarged or reduced.
So there are advantages to both. I hope this helps. Personally if I could only have one, I would choose the software.
I get all my quilting books from Amazon.com, and usually can find them in good used condition for a great price.
