I was doing alright until the dog ran of with my black thread when it fell of the table. :evil: :evil: So I am off to the shops on Monday as well.

Oh :evil:
I'm still waiting for my fabric order to get here. I found three or four patterns I like, and a couple of ideas. How many WHAT SIZE BLOCKS FOR A 4-BLOCK CENTER? I forgot already :roll: |
Hi Joanne,
I just saw your post about teaching yourself to paper piece. I am in the same place right now. I picked up Carol Doake's dvd Teach me to Paper Piece. She also has a group on yahoo that is very helpful and inspirational. Muriel |

I forgot already :roll: Its up to you in the end how you do it as long as the finished block measure 24 1/2"m All those who agree with me say YES. LOL Elle |
No. I think you are making it too hard. (Ask me how I know this)
1 block 24 inch finished 4 blocks = 12 inches finished. (The extra half inch comes from your seam allowance on each edge. 16 blocks = 6 inches finished. Again the extra half inch is your seam allowance on each edge. Mary |

Boy, I tell you. I have NO idea what I'm going to put together for a center piece.
But, for the alst Round Robin, I used this: (If anyone likes the idea, it was on Blocks Galore and is a 24" block. (All half square triangles. Get Thangles and make them PERFECT.) I was looking at the Teddy Bear there (that's also 24") but was intimidated by it's four pages long and all the cutting and piecing and WOW! But, it's real cute. |
You see Mary, you learn something new here every a question comes up.
I would have done it that way and been in trouble. :( Thank you for your help Elle |

I'm thinking about doing the Carpenter's Wheel Pattern (even before Cordelia suggested it lol). I just can't decide what colors to use. I just might have to make a special shopping trip. Hummm...

I am working on a funky (for me) center in EQ. This will be the first one i designed. As soon as I make a final decision I will post. My colors are black and brights (probably 3 different bright colors).
