Thank you so very much, janRN, for the explanation!! I have borrowed the 1920's version from the library and think I will do that one. The only nuisance is having to load up templates one at a time and print out one whole page for each! Any ideas for making this easier? I enjoy Freezer Paper piecing.
Having done Jane Stickle's quilt I am looking forward to more sampler blocks! I will buy the book next Social Security pay day!

All have different blocks set beside the letters, the first and third are 6" finished, Pony Club 9" finished. All have a CD to print out the patterns for rotary cutting, template piecing, or paper piecing.
The letters are very interesting (especially to this city girl). I did the first 2 and am now doing the 3rd with a group here on QB. I've become a much better quilter/piecer since doing these--they really do build your skills.
