I love the block - now it's time to settle on fabric....hoping to get some major quilting time in this afternoon!!! This is going to be a fun challenge :)
|
Not that I need another project but can't resist this one. Count me in. Violet
|
Perfect house to start the year with - it looks so 'pieceful'.
Now to find the fabrics ... |
Oh boy ...this is my first paper piecing project! I printed off the instructions on that website for paper piecing so I can practice first. I think the blue batik for sky was a good choice too!
|
I just printed out the 3 templates. This will be my first BOM. I'm so excited about all the different houses. This church is absolutely awesome, what a great choice to get started with.
I love love love paper piecing. I can't wait to get started and thank goodness we have a whole month to make each block, that way I can probably keep up. Good luck everyone I can't wait to see all the different, beautiful pictures of each house as we go along. |
I just printed off my pieces. Had to fiddle with the sizing but all ok. I will do the test piece first since this is my first time too! Then on to the House of God. ;-)

print off their practice piece or something simple |
I just printed off 1 page and the 1" test square does not equal 1". Using Opera browser...gonna try IE to see if that'll allow me to resize or print actual size without modification.
ETA: I was able to print it off and get the 1" test square to be 1" using Internet Explorer. |

Dang I wish I didn't have to go to bed this is such a nice block, and did you look at the finished ones on the site? The table runner would have been perfect for my moms B-day tomorrow, Since I am a procrastinator though I will be comming home after a 13 hr night and finishing pillow cases:(
