Once I get the first 2 pieces on right (which to me is the most difficult) the rest is just sewing pieces on. Great job!!
JanRN ... I SMILE everytime!!!!!!!!!
PrettiPTibbs ... Pretty nice blocks for starters ... imagine what you'll be turning out with practice!!
JanRN's got it figured out! And soon you will too. The more you do, the more you'll get your own rhythm and routine and then soon enough you'll be like
JanRN .... addicted!
A helpful hint for fabric placement ... I use a set of coloured markers and dab some colour on each section of the PP block to help me keep track of which fabric to add in each spot.
