Looking good so far. Great idea about enlarging -- I made my La Pass without paper piecing. I hand sewed my little pieces together but I did it by marking my 1/4" seam line and sewing the pieces together. I too ordered the plastic thingies but I could not get my hand to wrap the material around the plastic. It was much easier for me to mark my 1/4 seam line but still a lot of work. I used scraps and I think next time (probably won't be a next time tho) I would think about my material I used more. I love the start of Kassaundra's that I have seen and can't wait for her to finish. I will very much look forward to seeing your progress. It is just amazing how these La Pass's turn out.
