save this fabric for when we get to applique or when we hit the christmas holiday season.
it will be easier to control the direction on those types of blocks.
you won't have to worry about cutting in angles in the opposite direction so that the directional print goes the right way when paper piecing.
i did this on one block and i won't ever do it again - it turned a 1 hour block into 3 hours of work.
Yeah... it's not worth the headache. I won't do three sets, that would be insane, but I'd like to do other colour ways along the journey. I might shelve these ones and use them for something else, the colours aren't accurate in the photo, they've very cool in real life.
Thanks :-)
