I think, I'd like to join too. I do love to PP and NYB is on my bucket list.

I ordered Carol Doaks foundation paper from Amazon last night and it has shipped already.

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.

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.

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!!
:D :D :D :D

Sulabug, can't wait to see what the end result is with these blocks! They're luscious!

Sulabug they are wonderful! I hope you enjoy our visit.

Thank you girls for your kind comments. I can't wait to see them all together myself!! :D 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!!
:D :D :D :D

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.
