Back in the thirties my Granny started my Mother a quilt. It was never finished and Mom used it as a bed spread for years. It finally fill to me. I finished it off and put it away in my cedar chest. The old fabrics were not as well made as todays and it is a bit fragile. OK... now I decided I am going to do a copy. The quilt is iris blocks with plain blocks between and for a full size bed. I got out my ruler and pencil and made a copy of the iris block. I then made a block to test my templates and in turn made it into a hotpad. Bought the fabric and am ready to have a go at it. I have said all this to simply ask, is it possible to make this block using the paper foundation method? I'd rather not Cut out all those little pieces in order to piece it.
