Thanks for the printing hint MadameKelly. I discovered that I had to change my printer's settings to "no flipping" to get the 1" square on all of the pattern sheets. I usually print on both sides of the paper to save paper. And I usually save the instructions om my PC to also save paper. Silly me! Ten pieces of paper to send through the shredder. All is not wasted though. The shreds go under the chicken roost and then to the compost pile in a month or so. Next year's tomatoes. LOL

For those of you who paper piece, or , just want to try it, this blog has a free "creator" that makes you a free fairy godmother pattern for your sewing room, or for adding to a fairy tale quilt, etc. You just select your choices from the list, and submit. No obligation of any kind, no sign up, nothing. Really is a free gift. They make up so cute or funny depending on your fabric choices, and she even helps with that!

I just wanted to show you all my quilt fairy godmother. It took two days, and as usual I can't just follow a pattern, so she has curly hair and earrings ( which I am never without).

Madame Kelly, It would be fun to do it together. I have made some paper pieced quilts, and I have made some paper pieced blocks in the "Block of the Month" thread in this group. That's why I thought the pieces were so tiny in comparison to what I've done. I don't see how it is possible to sew them. Maybe I printed them out too small, or could make the patterns bigger before attempting to sew? Also, I don't have much stash and it takes a lot of different little color pieces
Can some of you that have done them help us out? Do you have pictures? Were some of the pieces tiny, like 3/8 " by 1/2"?
