go to print the foundation pattern for BR2.
make sure its 5x8.
1) click on the "sections" tab.
2) click on "start over"
3) click on the 5 little triangles on the bottom row and then click "group"
4) click on next row of 3 little triangles and the click "group"
5) click on the left side long triangle that spans these two sections and click on "group" and do the same thing for the right side long triangle
6) then click on the next row of triangles (3 across) and click on "group" the flying geese type unit
7) then click on the next rows of triangles and click on "group"
8) then click on the next rows of triangles and click on "group"
9) and do the same for the next rows.
10) then click on preview and move everything around and print.
When I first looked at this pattern I was wondering why it wasn't sectioned by tiers. I put that out of mind because I figured the DFS knew more than I did. I believe the one thing that will come out the party for me is more self confidence in free thinking and certainly a better piecer. I finally finished BR5 using the paper piece units redrafted by Klue and BlueChicken. I have been 2 days on this seemingly simple triangle. I am a little disappointed in myself but that will pass. I'm drained so will start the other 3 blocks that go with this triangle later.
Here is an idea to keep posting more organized. There will always be someone (hopefully I being one ) starting the next week before the current week in finished. Klue would this be workable; have a post for the current week that shows pics and questions, comments, etc and then at the same time have another post for the next wk, not necessarily pics of your blocks, that way you won't feel pressured into having to post 2 wks at the same time,but a post where those who are working ahead can discuss the next wks blocks.
