Try long stitches to check to see if its right, then sew over with the short stitches. This little block was pretty challenging I thought, but you'll get it!

Suzi Q I found that that worked quite well,,, if you needed to take out any stitches it was much easier!! Good tip to have passed on.

Thanks...it did help.

I worked on the Church BOM, and have it about 1/2 done with a lot of help from one of my fellow quilter. Boy that is pretty tiring, I hope that all the houses are not PP, that is just to much for me. :oops:

I am glad to hear that your block is half done. YEAH for you!! :thumbup: I have no idea how many blocks will be paper pieced, but please don't give up, as it gets easier as you do more. I learned last year & now it's my favorite way to make block's!!
:D :D :D :D

I have a question. When a picture is posted does it come to this site or does it go somewhere else? I ask because I see the pictures posted here but not some that are talked about.

I am confused about it too. I don't understand why there are two forums. Pictures seem to be posted on both. I think next month there should only be one forum for posting pics and comments for the blocks if that is possible? I think I miss seeing some blocks :roll:

One forum for instructions, discussions and pictures sounds good to me too. We seem to make lots of comments on the pictures as they're posted anyway.

You have my vote! :thumbup:

Here's where you can find the link to both the pattern and the pictures. Glad you're joining with us. It's been a lot of fun so far.
