I have never paper-pieced before. I think this would be a good tome to try. Melody

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?
I had this problem. I set my printer to custom print and had to go to 108% then ran copies of the print I made originally. I had to work my way up to 108%. Started at 103% then 106%. Measuring the one inch check area each time. Good luck.

kristen0112............I love to post pictures, so here are the first three patterns that I have worked on. As you will notice with pattern #3, I have only finished one of the blocks, but I am looking forward to getting the other three done. I am going to visit my daughter & will be back home on the 24th, so I will get some more done up then.
Thank you everyone for looking, as I am having so much fun making these!!

Thank you girls for your kind comments. I can't wait to see them all together myself!! I am planning on making each set of four out of a different set of fabric's. Do you think this will go together okay, or should I stick to using one or two of the same color's in each block? I am just not sure what to do here!! But I am having FUN!!

Sulabug I am sure you get a different answer depending on whom you talk too. I like controlled scrappy and the more fabrics the better so that is what I would say. See what style and color ways you like and do what suits you.
