    I have one of those, and when I lay out the blocks, it on the side and I have a couple calmer ones top bottom and other side. And it works great.

    Thimblebug I really like it! It's neat how you changed the look of the block the shape really appears in the center!

    Well, here is my first, itty bitty square... As I have professed, paper piecing is NOT my forte`...As you can see, kinda short on a couple corners. Ya could say this is a practice pc...lolo Good thing I have plenty of paper & fabric..

    OK...Thanks to Patrice posting the foundations for a 12 1/2" block, I went with that. It's not perfect, but I think it will do. There's a couple corners that are a wee bit short, but it does measure 12 1/2"...think they might sew into the seam ok. I guess like CajunBear says, 'I have a mental block when it comes to paper-piecing' - it just seems hard to me..lol Anyway, it's done. Don't be too critical of me...

    Everyone's blocks are so pretty! Amazing the totally different looks possible by varying color placement. Can't decide which I like best.
