Here's a pic of the fabrics.

For those of you who are reluctant to paper-piece, I'd encourage you to learn it anyway. Some of the blocks coming up would be difficult to do with traditional piecing. I'm drawing them in EQ, but it would be manageable to draw them on graph paper for paper piecing also. Please consider it.

Hi All, Thanks Dagny for mentioning the paper piecing. There are quite a few blocks that have angles that are impossible and timely to figure them out correctly and the only figures I can post are the width and length of the widest part of the template itself--so you need the actual template to get it cut correctly.
I myself prefer not to use them but I have in some of the simpler blocks to get the hang of it.
