I started PP in Jan of this year. I joined two BOM's here. One for houses and one for stars. Quite a few of these blocks are pp'd. I taught myself in Jan. during the worst winter we have ever had. I loved it and Jan. flew by for me. I guess I'm a slow learner and had to do some blocks over but I finally got the hang of it. Check for the pics we posted each month as we went along. The Quilters Cache site has some good free pp'd blocks. Have fun!
