Ok. Time for me to grow a spine.
Clue #2 threw me for a loop and I've been over here sulking like a teenager with her phone taken away.
But if one of the goals of a BH mystery is to learn new skills, then I better straighten myself out. As a teacher I constantly talk about resilience - the need to dig in when things get tough. Time to eat my words.
So I printed p9 of the PDF and cut up a cereal box to make the templates and I did *one* block today (not a set, just one). And surprisingly the accuracy was decent....I know there are some people on here who have been around since before the rotary cutter revolution, so you can all sit back and laugh at the youngster rediscovering "the old ways".
I'm also going to (serepiciously at work) make some photocopies of the paper piecing pattern and see how I like that.
Happy VQW to everyone. Love seeing everyone's projects and progress.
