Thanks for your kind words.
Did you get your block done already :lol: :mrgreen: ? Show us!!!
Hi Candi, it is tough not to want to help. Nice to know that there are some nice people out there and a large proportion are on Quilting Board. :thumbup:

EUREKA!!!

As I expected, the templates do not all print at 100% of the size they're supposed to be. the problem is with Template A.

if you are using Internet Explorer, do the following:

From the Menu select "File"
Select "Print Preview"

You should see something similar to the menu options in the picture below.

Change "Shrink to Fit" to 100%
Change the page orientation to Landscape

the whole image should now appear in the print preview AND it will print in the proper size.

BizzieLizzie....My youngest daughter's nickname is Bizzy! She couldn't say Elizabeth when she first talking, she would say Bizzbetz. So, her name became Bizzy.

All of the BoM's are really nice!

I did exactly that with my HP printer and it still didn't fit. I ended up using my printer to blow up the templates another 75% or so. So that option doesn't necessarily work.

Once you get the hang of it, it is very easy. If you were closer, I'd have shown you PP in five minutes.

Check out these links here:

Just dive in, and ask us questions as you go :thumbup:

I'm late! I just got here today and I want to try this. I haven't done paper piecing before though. 27 pages deep on this message, has the question been asked: "Are all the blocks already picked? Is there a picture before I commit?"

The blocks have not been picked, each month on the first the assigned volunteer posts a pattern for a house block they pick, and we all go from there.

Join the fun!

I'm going to try it but if the block is too hard for me, I will tamper with the design. :)
