No Linda. I buy cheap tracing paper and cut it down to 8 1/2" x 11" and run it through my printer.

Ronda, do you hand trace all of your patterns? I have always used computer paper for my pp. If I put my index finger on the beginning of the seams I am about to rip the paper off of as I pull the paper off, it seems to work easily. With our last pp swap for every seam I sewed, I had to rip seams twice or thrice for every seam I ended up leaving. Sewwwww glad I hadn't set my stitches to tiny... LOL

I wonder what it will have in it but it had really good reviews plus it was really cheap.

I own this book as well. The blocks are mostly 7" blocks with a few 3 1/2" blocks. There are no 6" blocks, however, I think you could easily reduce patterns if you like for this swap to be 6", and it is a great choice! I have used several of the patterns in here for various projects. Just don't get lost in your book and forget to visit with us or work on your blocks...

I really like the floral corner triangles around your trees. Very cute!

So, I was thinking that one might find a flag in their garden or what about a kite tied to a stick in the garden... flying in the breeze all by itself? Am I having trouble staying in the box? 
My true colors might be beginning to show up!
Love your trees Ronda, especially with the pansies.
