Thanks for all the helpful insight. I can definitely see the help of accuracy and control in a 4.5 block. The thought of removing the paper from and producing 152 paper patterns is daunting to say the least. I have no real PP knowledge-no idea the best paper to use etc. I know you should use a shorter stitch length, but not what that should be, 2.0? 1.5? I know there are water soluble papers, but 152 blocks? Along with the 17.5 yards (!) of fabric this project would take- Definitely not in my budget! I am going to think on this and how I could use Eleanor's teaching to come up with a smaller project but use the color inspiration as Christine suggested. Thanks!
