The Farmer's Wife Quilt-Along Week 14 Photo Page for Blocks 27 & 28

I thought this had more pieces than any so far. I could be wrong. I have now figured out that I need to mirror image the printout of the foundation paper piecing if the block has a direction like this one does. I finally got it right. So I did them out of order but I now have 30 done.

I like it in some ways and not in others. But when there are tiny hst I just can't see any other way. It sort of seems like cheating (HA) but the triangles and squares are way more similar and come out way better. I have done a couple with the rotary cutting instructions and I like that too for certain blocks. It seems to me that each block has a "best way" to do it. Some using templates, some using rotary cutting and some using PP.

What I do is set my pp pattern - face up on my printer/copier. Then turn the dark/light setting on your printer as dark as you can get it. When you copy the pattern it will come out backwards. I hope that makes sense.
The other way to do it is to tape your pattern face down to a window and put another plain paper over it and trace the pattern onto the new piece of paper.

I like it--it's colorful without knocking you over. Don't you love that "crackle" fabric? I used that in red for my border strips. Great job on all your triangles (as usual). You are the little engine that could!! You're really catching up fast.
