I will add that the pattern directions are very complete, and there is even paper cutting layout for the pieces to be paper pieced if you want to go that route. I was pulling mostly from my stash, and didn't have enough of some of the fabrics to use the cutting layouts. Since this is mostly triangles, I cut my fabric in strips and worked from the long strip, cutting and then turning it to use for the next triangle that color. With paper piecing, I don't pay any attention to bias. The Fire Island Hosta pattern I'm doing has mostly floating points, so it worked well as it does not matter if the point isn't in the exact location.

I've also got interested in doing a design by Jacqueline de Jonge. In fact, I picked the JN Hosta pattern as practice before trying the other. I've got the pattern and all the fabric for "Catch me if you Can". That one I will be using the papers, as the points have to be in the exact spot for it to look good.
