Hi All, I have started to PP these blocks. I have finished # 23 but #24 is still in pieces. I got the little squares all mixed up. Oh well, I hope to get it done tonite. Anne

I'm still working on 24 too. I finally got a job and training is exhausting me. I come home and don't feel like doing anything. But I will get caught up before next week. I drafted it in Quilt Assistant and clicked the paper piecing tab but it didn't do it right and I had to go back in and manually rename some of the pieces.

I'm distracted by video game new releases. Good season.
I'm pp'ing, too. Thanks for starting these threads, Honchey. |

Hi, I have started doing some of these too, & love them! I am piecing mine, but for those of you interested in pp, on the yahoo group for this, they have added the pp blocks to their files! So, join that group, lurk if you prefer & find the pp blocks! This is the site the author of the book is on too, in case you are interested!

Or, you can make your own pp. I tend to make mine in larger pieces. It's like creating a puzzle you then get to play.
Definitely join the yahoo group if you haven't already. Good pix and info. I keep making additional blocks in my FW fabrics. Here's my 4H bonus block. I also made a Scottie. |
I just joined the Farmers Wife Sampler group on Yahoo and I must say, it was rather nice to just print out a block instead of first drawing it in EQ and then printing it out!

I just finished # 24--I was a little bothered that there wasn't enough contrast between 2 of the fabrics but after it was all together I was satisfied with it. Anne |

I didn't have a problem being approved. Check back. I think I had to introduce myself to the group and let them know where I want my emails sent to. Have you done all that yet? |
Okay, This is for all the ladies that have an EQ program and know how to use it.
If a person were to take the PDF block that is sized for 6 inches and make it a 3 inch block--what % would you set the printer at to get it to that size? I'm referring to the PP foundation blocks that we can use from the Yahoo site. Anne |
50% ?
I am having the same problem as Belles. I was acceped but now can't get signed on. |

Also noted that there are alot of people joining just to get their files and not contributing anything to the group and then dropping out-I don't think that's right either. I started an album to showcase my blocks to date and I do respond occasionally to some of the posted messages. It wouldn't hurt for others to do the same. Hope everyone gets to read this. Anne |

Honchey,
I am also signed up on the yahoo group and have posted my blocks there. But I definitely consider our group to be my home group since we all started at teh same time. My blocks from the pp or foundation piecing method come out a bit bigger but I figure I will just trim them. It is really worth it for me with the smaller pieced blocks. Otherwise I would have a big mess. Roxanne
