    I can't believe you chain piece! I have trouble just getting part 1 to part 2 without messing up. I have to do one seam at a time, one section at a time. Impressive, Anne!

    That's because I pin on the seam & flip to make sure the piece fits..I do this to all the pieces while watching TV..if you take notice of the couple of photos, my feet are peeking out while I take the photos of what I'm working on.. I'm relaxing in the recliner..when I'm done I get up & go to the sewing machine during commercials.. I'll do this with several blocks at a time..

    Yep, I do the same as Anne! By using the templates and cutting the fabric a little larger than the actual template, I find I can just pick up the piece, hold up to the light and make sure it will cover the area, and start sewing them. Goes so fast this way.

    Yes, You will . After doing 201 blocks with a bunch of great quilters, listening to the hints they give, not mind the friendly advice given, you'll be able to do pping with a smile on your face. .every time I finish a block I say Yeah! another one bites the dust...
