Otherwise I don't see how you can figure out anything with all these pages to read!!! As it is now I just feel like tearing everything up& not participating at all. .
1. If you refer to the Virtual Section (link is at the bottom of this page) you will find a nicely organized list of the topics related to this event.
2. The only way to make sure every comment stays in its "proper" place would be to delete every comment that's accidentally put in the "wrong" pace. I think that would suck the fun out of it for most people in about 2 seconds flat. We are a casual, fun loving and - apparently - rebellious bunch. a reminder that this topic is for blocks 1 & 2 was followed immediately by a comment about a future block. Human Beings. What'cha gonna do with 'em? :lol:
3. The book comes with a CD. All the templates are on the CD. There are no known errors in the templates on the CD. The few errors we know about are in the templates available at the external website. (link provided in the announcement topic.)
4. All the tutorials and extra instructions (such as those for rotary cutting) are provided by volunteers. (and, by the way, those templates are good for more than hand piecing. i use them as guides for rotary cutting in preparation for machine piecing. that's easier to me than measuring.)
5. Each week will begin separate discussion and photo topics for that week's blocks. if you refer to those topics when the time comes, i'm sure lots of useful information will be shared and repeated.
6. Take each week as it comes. We aren't trying to slow down the speedy folks who are already far ahead. They aren't trying to convince us to move faster. We are all working at our own pace. As self-appointed Chairperson of the Slackers Subcommittee, i still haven't even picked out my fabrics for the first two blocks. :lol:
Breeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeath deeply and Chillaaaaaax. it'll all work out. cross my heart. ;-)
