Thank you so much for your kind reply, I had not done much PP before Dear Jane and avoid it if there is another way to do that particular block !!!!!. Sometimes though, you just have to - I had done some PP in a class I took - with bigger pieces of fabric - but my little grey cells find the "mirror imaging " difficult on some of the blocks i.e F8 Church Window. The outside border has to be turned !! But, as with most methods, practice makes it better. I only asked on here the other day about applique, and how to get sharp points on melon shapes, and got some really helpful replies.
Thanks again and I hope you soon decide on colours and start you journey, you really will be glad you did !!
