Just check for "corrections" on the author's site.
What are you using freezer paper for? Just curious if this makes piecing easier or not. Some of those blocks kicked my butt--6" block with 40+pieces!! Would freezer paper have made them easier? I glued my templates to cardboard and traced them onto fabric.
I am using all the methods I know and learned from the Dear Jane quilt[still in progress}. Paper piecing, freezer paper,etc. Some times it helps and some times not. I received the rotary cutting inst. for 32 of the blocks, some "tweeked" a little to make them work. Esp. the 25 patch grid ones. Very tricky on 6" block. So far this is great improvement over the templates. Not a big fan of the T word.
