Saw the same material I had bought at Joanns yesterday for 6.99 a yard at Walmart for 4.97. Same designer, etc. I guess that is why Joanns does the 40% coupons.. Anyhoo, it was great fun to fabric shop, haven't done that in many years. So, about the block, I am making a practice block tomorrow first thing in the morning off of the Quilters Cache site. I can do this, I can do this. Thanks for inspiring growth, SulaBug...

Had lots of fun today, played with the windows! Dug into the stash and found a few lenghts to use. Got to revisit paper peicing and want to resize the block to 12.5". Having fun!

I am so such a newbie I did not even know what paper piecing was until I read the instructions. I can see now I am going to have to practice, practice, practice. Will probably fall behind. We leave for GA in 3 days and machine is staying here. Then back for 4ish weeks but packing remainder of house (not quilt house, our house) to ship off to GA. SOooooooooo, I know is is okay to run a bit behind and will catch up. I so look forward to this!! Oh, one tinnie tiny question, what kind of paper do I use??

curious about that answer also

I don't mind if the blocks are not 12" and would need a border. I think it will look really nice to have them different. |

if you fold the paper several times and press it sharply on the sew lines, it will be much easier to tear it off later. I use regular printer paper because I rarely have all my supplies in the same place

I have been thinking about this block all day. I love the church block, but what colors shall I buy? I will work on it tomorrow.
