Here is the link at Quilter's Cache. These are good directions compared to some I've seen, and the pics give you me ideas about layout. Sabrina's picture is the traditional layout/color combo that I've seen before, but the colors on the others are great too. Eugene's variation could be called "Peace in the Midst of the Storm," and I really like it. I want to do one that is more traditional, though. Probably with greens or teals/turquoises.

Thanks for all the response so far.

2 Doods - I'm looking forward to your pics.

Cathe - we've done a test block by just cutting out around our acrylic templates with a rotary cutter. Is that what you did? Since all the pieces are parallelograms, you can cut strips, then cut the individual pieces. If you're making lots of blocks though I think you have to make left and right blocks. Is this how the templates are supposed to be used? We've never done or even seen demonstrated the paper piecing technique.
