    I like what you have done in the sample, Anne. Very neat, and easy to understand.

It's kind of fun to have this framework up on the design wall to put each of the new blocks into & see the added dimensions as it all comes together.

    Sorry can't get a full picture, but right now my Lizzie is set up in front of the design wall...
    How did you start out? did you sew sashing to the sides first and then sew a long row of sashing together to put them together? this should be a challenge for me, your blocks look really great with the sashing.

    I found this most helpful information and it is what I used to put mine together:

    Hope it helps you out!

    Hi All,

    I love looking at all of your pictures. Thank you for posting them!
    I do have a quick question for you. I have just seen my first set of Marti Michell's templates. I "think" that I have heard them mentioned on this site? If you have used them for the FWS, can you tell me how you have liked them? Thanks for your opinions, and if this isn't a good place to post this question, can you tell me where to put it? Thank you!

    Laurie Aaron
