Hey there DublB ... I'm no authority ... it's been totally learn to do by doing (anyone a 4-H'er?). A year ago I TOTALLY detested the thought of PPing!

I started with the very simple directions on QuiltersCache.com and made a few (like about 3) sample blocks ... and then jumped right in, and then just picked up bits and pieces as I went. Now I laugh at myself, for avoiding it for so long.

Would I pass the muster of REAL PP'ers? ... not likely! but it's working ... and if you want pointy points, square squares, and blocks to size, you can't go wrong with PPing!
Just think of it as dot-to-dot meets paint-by-numbers. Last night as I was doing the final block from the FWS book, I kept thinking ... OMG, if I'd stopped and measured and cut, I know I wouldn't have done so .... way too late at night, but I just wanted to do it!!

So gallop on over to QuiltersCache and you'll be off to the races!
