i'm not starting early but i've kinda started early.
i made a handful of blocks to make sure the fabric was working (some wasn't - had to toss them and buy more - poor me).
now i'm redrafting some applique/tricky type blocks to be paper piecing friendly.
then i'll start the actual block rotation in December - this way i can get the paper piecing order up for the people who only have the book and i can make the tutes for all the applique blocks.
i'd like to maintain a 2 week head start on the group so that i have everything ready to be put on the forum in time for you guys.
