I have always hated removing the paper, and with the freezer paper method you don't have to. And, you don't even have to use freezer paper. You can just pin your pattern to the first piece of fabric and away you go. I think this is a beautiful, beautiful star.

It was slap it on and sew. I had a hard time getting the fabric lined up right. There are a couple of things I learned since coming on this board:

1. Some one had put up a link to how to pp and what the lady did on the video is copied off an extra copy of the pattern. She used this to cut each piece and she used them to cut out her fabric adding on 1/4 seam allowance. I thought boy that makes sense! PP got easier for me then.

2. Judy talked earlier on this thread about when sewing on the fabric fold back on the line and sew next to the fold. Oh I liked that every better!!

I can't say they improved the looks of my pp but they made it easier.

Here is my block such as it is. I cut pieces 1 and 3 as one piece to make the background in black.
