Yes, I have the 50 paper piece stars too, very nice, but with PP I seem to gravitate more to realistic looking items. I have not been able to resize on the printer yet. It seems always just a little off.

So true there is a lot online. I do not have EQ6. My kids describe me as old school. Hehehe I do like actual books alot. I found some recently used that have little houses etc. I am smitten with it but am always looking for more. From what I hear there used to be a magazine all dedicated to PP.

Hello everyone!
I sewed 3 new block sets for the swap because I felt bad that I messed up on the first ones I made (wrong size
.) I may be able to complete one more for a total of 4 sets. We'll see how busy the next 2 weeks are! We've added on to the back of our little house & as a result I will now have a dedicated sewing/quilting/craft room! We are working on it ourselves and my husband works in slow motion so it may take a few months, but I am so excited. We're also adding a small 2nd bathroom & updating the laundry room! YIPPEE! Slowing but surely it'll all get done.
So here are my blocks: [ATTACH=CONFIG]345966[/ATTACH] Same blocks, but the correct size! I'll keep the others and use in a quilt with all the ones I have and will get from this swap. Should be a large quilt too.
Happy 4th of July to you all.
