dunster...I wanted you to say this was going to be a snap! You have been a big help already...would you be able to print me the directions for rotary cutting a block? That might be the answer to my prayers. Does your program tell you..."cut 4- 2" squares from fabric A, and then 8 2" triangles from fabbric B, etc...that would be nice, otherwise I am not sure of the dimensions of each of the individual parts....hmmmmm. And if it gives you yardage, I'll take it. I will go to the public library and print off whatever you post, that will be my quilt directions....I am at the cabin up North and do not have a printer attached here. Rats.
I am going to machine quilt it...that I do know. I'm not sure which would be smarter, to try paper piecing or freezer paper....templates? I have used templates on one quilt, a sampler...my first quilt, entirely hand-stitched, and my last! (hand stitched). I have used a paper pattern with directions from quilting books for the others, is that paper piecing? I have no idea what or how to do freezer paper, and can see I could read up on that before you throw your hands in the air, we beginners are rather naive sometimes...isn't it enough to say, "I love this quilt...and then struggle thru as best we can?....oh, there is a better way...how did I know that. In my retirement, I will have to take a few classes so as not to sound quite so desperate and befuddled. LOL. Hope this isn't too much trouble, dunster, I know it takes time. I will go now and check up on the freezer paper vs paper piecing dilemna.
Anybody have brilliant suggestions, I am trying to organize my thinking before tackling the actual piecing/cutting etc. Advice is welcome.
