Wow rwquilts those blocks are spectacular! My 59 turned out so bad! Big bulge in the middle. I did wet it down like Anne suggested and it does look a little better. Don't know why it did that - everyone's here lie nice and flat!

JeanieG, I am paper piecing most of my blocks--that keeps the fabric from stretching/shifting when sewing. It also helps in sewing straight lines and keeping the intersections where they belong. I cannot sew a straight line without the help of a guide on the presser foot and even then it tapers off because I can't keep my fat fingers out of the way :-P . I utilize all the help that's out there, ie: starch/pressing/pinning. Anne

Thanks Anne - Do you make your own paper piecing patterns for the blocks, or are there some already made?

Thank you Anne and Jeanie for the compliments! Jeanie, I also am paper piecing mine and it really does help give a more precise block...I love my starch also! LOL!

I've been designing mine in EQ, but there's also an offical group that's got the patterns, but I don't know if it's okay to talk about it here...Anne will let cha know!

First off, rwquilts fantastic blocks! Very well done and I love the fabrics you chose!

The paper piecing patterns are available from the Yahoo Farmer's Wife group. Laurie H. has told us it's okay to use them. You have to join their group. After that it is a courtesy to drop in and look at their blocks and make comments. It would be nice also to share your blocks with them.
