Welcome Everyone!!
The book is great to see the finished blocks. The CD that comes with the book gives directions on how to paper piece Carol Doak's "way"....measuring pieces of fabric vs using big scraps and cutting down. The Foundation Factory program just shows one section (of the 4 needed for a block)...the advantage of having this is if you want smaller blocks and don't have a copier that does the alterations easily....hope that helps.
Fabrics...I have mine all picked out. I will try to get a picture later today.
