i use computer paper, it comes off ok if you fold it back and forth a couple of times at the seam line.
i leave the paper ON when sewing the sections together, then remove it from the seam lines . |

Yes trying to stay on top of this PP. I've never done a whole pp quilt before so I'm trying to stay on top of it. When will we get cutting instructions for #3 & #4. I tried but I was not sure if I was doing it right so I stopped. Thank you for all you guys help. I'm enjoying this so far.

Juanita--if you are looking for measurements of blocks #3 and #4, Mirabelle is at a retreat this weekend so will probably post them when she returns. I know she has the first 6 blocks all done.

My two sweet Grandchildren are in school now so I was able to be in my craft room and did block two. Just have to stitch the six pieces together.

Update on my "perfect paper" quest ...
The paper I brought home from work is absolutely PERFECT for PP. It's translucent so I can see even dark fabrics, it's heavy enough to withstand multiple stitching, and it pulls apart cleanly and easily after folding along the stitched line. Only one problem. I could not get it to feed through my laser printer OR my ink jet printer. DRAT!!! I asked my IT guru here at the office why it wouldn't work at home ... so we went and looked at (and dissambled) the giant copy machine and basically the feed mechanism is much different than on most machines. It uses a solid 52" take up roller. DRAT!! |

Finally, after much frustration this afternoon, I finished block one:[ATTACH=CONFIG]434442[/ATTACH]Might be 'candles' in center of the green flowers; whatever you see it as...that's ok with me 'cause I am finished with it!! For now. Will add sides later.
Center I treated just like the stack and whack, stopped on the one-fourth seam allowance from point and let it swirl around in the center underneath; nice and flat that way. No hammer needed to pound the center out flat as some do and seem to enjoy the exercise. POW!POW! LOL!:D:thumbup::thumbup: |

More the merrier!! Go for it. Post your first block and go! Welcome.

QNS it looks like you nailed it sans hammer! Looks great.
Sure alikat join in. After finishing my block I have decided to bow out. I'd rather be sewing other things than PP'ing these blocks. I know QE--what can I say? |
