Thanks all. I've done foundation piecing which is basically the same so it's not totally new to me (though it has been many years). Yes, I got them out of a book. Carol Doak Mariner's Compass Stars. It comes with a CD called Foundation Factory and it has 24 foundation patterns. I got 100 sheets of the paper too. Just print 4 copies per block, each sheet has the pattern for a quarter block, A & B. The directions are clear and simple but it took me 4 hours to do the first one, starting from cutting the fabric.
I'm getting quicker now... 3 hours maybe? I'm not timing it anymore! :lol:
