Janet, these are the kind of monsters I like.

Thanks for the incentive push. I like doing new things and learning all the different ways of quilting. Next hurdle for me will be applique... that scares me to death. I can't hand sew to save my life.

You can order a CD or download Foundation Factory Carol Doak 50 Fabulous Stars from www.quiltpro.com. I have that and the book and it is great. I print the patterns from the software and use the cutting charts from the book. I hope this helps! http://www.quiltpro.com/page/Foundat...0_Fab_Mainpage

Oh my goodness! I miss one day from reading this thread and missed a TON of great looking blocks and fun chit chat! I'm so happy that those who've never paper pieced are giving it a try and enjoying it! I'm such a paper piecing fanatic! Love, love, love it! If you get really into it, you might give the mini paper piecing swap a try... :):). Grinning here!

You can peel back paper to help some, but you will still have some thickness where several come together.

Dear Quilters, these look absolutely amazing!!! :thumbup:

I have to stop looking as I can't start another thing. Not one more thing. I can't. Don't make me do it. Ugh!

Just as I used ordering the book and being behind as an excuse not to do it, someone (Nicky) posts a link for a download. I have the fabric in my stash and could start tonight? Lions and tigers and bears. Oh my!

Step away from the computer! You all are too dangerous to be around!

@Janet My - your Arkansas took my breath way! Nicely done all of you.
