CindyA this is your quilt you can do what you like, it will be fun to see your modified block. That's what makes patchwork and quilting so unique to each of us, we put our own spin on patterns and make them our own..

I am a chunker, or I guess you could say I "Hack N Wack" I did number all my fabrics for the first block, and because I need to conserve fabric, maybe I will go easy this time.

Just finished reading the last few days of everyone's ideas and seeing lots of gorgeous fabrics! I have the first 2 done, except putting the four outside triangles on my second one. I think I am going to use some light batiks on those sections. Not all the same batik, but similar colored. I love the blocks so far! And thanks for the tips offered. I don't think I'd want to teach PPing to newbies because I have learned mostly on my own and don't know all the nifty "helps"! But, I do enjoy the way patterns are so intricate and precise--wow. I have picked up a few more small pieces to add to the collection of colors I chose. It's too much fun not too!!
This is one of the most busy seasons of the year for me with garden harvest and orchard picking and canning. I enjoy it all, but will be glad when it it finished, too.
Have a great day, everyone, and happy quilting!

The (6) blue fabrics that the QS graciously helped me match up yesterday:[ATTACH=CONFIG]431600[/ATTACH] because if they turn out right, they will go to dd; and for contrast in a setting of 12 will be at least three from the opposite side of the color wheel: [ATTACH=CONFIG]431603[/ATTACH]Colors are a dark red, yellow, gold and brown with a light tone for a white background.

Hi all. I am one of the lurkers who is still thinking about if i have the time to do this. I really love it and love paper piecing. I did do the 50 paper pieced stars project and finished it. Life has been a little bit crazy around my house lately. I think things are calming down now. I am hoping to squeeze these in. I am thinking of using white background and doing the rest scrappy. I did the 50 stars with matching backgrounds and the rest scrappy. Hope I can fit this in my schedule. I look forward to seeing everyones beautiful blocks on here even if I don't get to do them. I am a chunker when I paper piece.

Hey folks I was at my local Wally World today. In the scrapbook section I found a double stick tape--made by the Elmer's Glue that was a reusable temporary adhesive. I've used double stick tape to hold fabric to paper instead of a pin or glue stick. Gonna give this a try when I finally get to Block #1.
