I started reading through the pattern this weekend. I understand Judy's approach of putting the paper templates on top of the fabric strips to save time, but I think that makes things more complicated. I am going to make the arcs the traditional paper-piecing way... #1 through #8 and not start in the middle.
I do have a question though. I am choosing not to use batiks. I am going to use the Morris' Apprentice collection by Barbara Brackman. There are only 5 colorways that it breaks down into -- not 6 sets like the Bali Pops strip sets. Is that ok? I didn't see any color diagrams for placements in the directions. Does that make a difference in the pattern? Can I just make more arcs from the 5 colorways that I'll be using?
Thanks...
