I asked about the possibility of using our templates from FWS quilt since I made plastic templates, but Laurie said that she tried that and gave up because of the number of templates and trying to keep them organized. She said she just printed out each blocks templates from the CD on card stock as she went along and that worked pretty well. She is going to have PP pages that go along with each block on the CD as well.

There are not too many of us left doing this, but I enjoy doing the blocks each week, and in the end we will have another great quilt. I really enjoy chatting with all of you and seeing your blocks here on this website. Hope we can continue!
Hi Jeanie, I wouldn't mind doing it. I read some of the info about it on the yahoo site. Some of the blocks are going to have ALOT of pieces, some of them more than 20. If I do do it I will be using a themed fabric line. It's too hard for the scrappy for me at this time. I'm tired of searching for pieces to fit in.
