I started working on one tonight, just getting some ideas down. I think I am going to re-do the church block in the fabrics that I was originally thinking of using, Moda's Luna Notte.

This is very pretty!

Kate...........it looks perfect to me!! :thumbup: You have done a wonderful job making it & I really like your fabric choices & color's. Thank you for sharing with all of us!!

I have enough fabric to do another one. I am going to try and do better with the little triangles on the door and windows. This is how you learn. I like this BOM project. Thanks for doing it. Everyone's blocks are so pretty.

I am totally ignorant regarding paper piecing, but I want to learn.
I printed off the templates for the church, but I don't understand, Do I need a full size picture (outline) of the church to transfer to the paper for the foundation to sew the template pieces to?

I HIGHLY recommend the How to on the site where you printed the pattern from. There are also some great videos to help too (not on the pattern site). Practice (many times) till you get the hang of it. Also make sure you measure your test blocks template A has been small for alot of people...just put on copy machine and increase 111% and it should be the right size.

Pauline, I just use my printer paper to paper piece when doing one block here and there, don't transfer it to anything. Just print the templates and start piecing. Just make sure you use a size 90/14 needle and shorten your stitch length. Did you look at some of the tutorials that were posted here for paper piecing? You may want to look at some. Once you get the hang of it, PP becomes pretty easy.
