Definitely leave the paper on the back it makes it easier!

Thank you Kristen0112 for taking on this project for all of us to share.

LOL. You are welcome! It is hard to resist starting early on them and they are so much fun. I am sure everyone would love to see what you've done so far if you want to post pictures.

I'm in for this. I pp'ed DDWR and have foundations copied for this that I've never used. This one looks like a real challenge. No pictures from me most likely. I haven't got a camera anymore. (long story)

I loved seeing all the example quilts.

Welcome Sucia! It will be a fun block to do.

I printed Ula Lenz's templates out before but my computer/printer prints it just a smidge, 1/16 in., too small. I am not sure how I can remedy that. Any ideas?

Welcome!
I had the same problem. I was able to just 'pretend' the rest was there when I was doing a test block. But I will probably get legal sized paper to print all the patterns - some print fine other are a little outside the printing page.
