please let me know when the next FWS begins again, I would love to jump in. I've done 3 blocks but think it would be fun to do with a group.

the topics that are not locked are there so members can posts comments, questions, pictures, as appropriate to each of those particular topics.

there is no need for confusion or controversy.

a bit of patience would be very helpful, though.

Thanks you SOOO much! That is information I couldn't find anywhere (I'm sure it's there somewhere). Like I said, being new here, I assumed it was my confusion. I have no controvery, at all. Life is much too short for that! Again, thanks for the clarity.

You can still access the information. The cutting instructions are fabulous and work much better for me than trying to use the templates on the CD. Honchey did a fabulous job of putting those together for the quilters. Reading many many of the threads I also found it was important to really starch your fabric before cutting and also use a shy 1/4 seam. I hope to start this quilt along with others when they start up again, but the work of the first group, comments and suggestions on the site are so helpful. This is a wonderful support group.

I think the only topics that are LOCKED are the two introductory pages. All of the discussion, photo and rotary cutting pages are still open and being added to. I have them all on "My Pages" to making them easily accessible to me.

I've been wanting to start it too. A friend gave me the book and CD but I've just been too scared to start it. How can we access the original tips on it?

Thanks so much for this information. Everyone here has been so helpful. I do hope a new group starts up, but it's good to know I can still access the info from the first go-around.
