I will be starting the 1920's book with a group through Gnome Angel this week. I will be machine piecing mine using either paper piecing, my cutting dies, or the templates or a combination of the 3. I spent a lot of time last week going through and copying templates that I knew I couldn't cut with my dies. We will see if my prep work was worth it when we get to a block with irregular shapes. I can always go back and print a paper piecing pattern for tough blocks.
