never saw a answer...so I am anxious to finally start these blocks. So many beautiful inspiring blocks being posted.
Great after finally getting excited to start these blocks and get caught up I came down w/ the treaded cold crud everyone around me has had and all i manage to do today was lay on the couch & sleep off and on...grrrr

That is NO fun! I know - I am still getting over that crud. Get lots of rest, I think that is the key!

Hi! That stinks to be sick now! I hope you feel better and can get to working on your farmhouse. Someone posted this link and it helped me get started. The church was my first paper pieced block.

Good luck and get better soon!!!

I used small scissors to cut the small pieces out, then used fusible web. I didn't do anything with the edges of the appliques yet. I still have to learn to do the machine appliques, where you use a decorative stitch around the edges after ironing the piece on. Perhaps someone else can give you some better info on this.

I use invisible thread on top for small pieces...use a very tiny zig zag or blanket stitch...If you go slow you can just do a straight stitch at the edge of each piece if you don't have decorative stitches.
