Here's the latest Sylvia block I made. They don't all have that many tiny pieces though otherwise I wouldn't have started this - I think

I have tried PP'ing a couple of times on some small projects. I am just going to do it!!!


I have aslso found a few sew alongs on line doing NYB. Since I have collected my fabrics and no pattern I am still jumping in on this NYB. Most of my fabrics are Kansas Troubles so I am excited to see how it all goes together.

I guess I still need to purchase some PP'ing paper/template stuff? right?

Anael.............I "LOVE" your Sylvia block. It is so pretty & looks so intricate to make. Would this pattern happen to be one of Rhonda's patterns, using her little templates? I bet it takes a lot of time to get it put together. Thank you so much for sharing with all of us today.

Renea, I just use regular copy paper. A couple of he pages are a little bit longer than a regular 8 1/2 x 11 you should probably use legal size 20 lb or lighter. You can post pictures of your fabric selections too. I always like to see fabrics others are using
