I set all margins at 0.25 and I was able to fit all of Template B on the paper.

I had to do a lot of finegaling, but finally got both templates to print out without any parts missing. It only took half a ream of paper, LOL, but I have the templates. Since I did the last ones, my printer had an update and nothing was the same as it had been, thus, my total confusion but I didn't let the monster have it's way. I ended up taking my margins to 0.0 to do it.

I copied and pasted each template into a Word document where it was easier to reduce the margins. They printed perfectly and to scale. I hope this is helpful.

I'm new to this forum and would love to have access to the other months that have posted (guessing Jan and Feb). How do I find these links?

Thanks,

Thanks for that link.

Now here is another question for those that do this kind of block, how do you find the fabrics that look like bricks, stones, grass, etc.? Is there a particular online fabric store that I could go to that would have a good assortment?

Thanks,

Suzanne
