    No Linda. I buy cheap tracing paper and cut it down to 8 1/2" x 11" and run it through my printer.

    Craft, love your tools!

    Ronda, do you hand trace all of your patterns? I have always used computer paper for my pp. If I put my index finger on the beginning of the seams I am about to rip the paper off of as I pull the paper off, it seems to work easily. With our last pp swap for every seam I sewed, I had to rip seams twice or thrice for every seam I ended up leaving. Sewwwww glad I hadn't set my stitches to tiny... LOL

    I wonder what it will have in it but it had really good reviews plus it was really cheap.

    I own this book as well. The blocks are mostly 7" blocks with a few 3 1/2" blocks. There are no 6" blocks, however, I think you could easily reduce patterns if you like for this swap to be 6", and it is a great choice! I have used several of the patterns in here for various projects. Just don't get lost in your book and forget to visit with us or work on your blocks...

    ROFL Ronda! You are so funny. I found some other blocks in an older book and they are not the right size either. They are 4 in. finnished. I think I will have to redraw some and then xerox them off.

    I really like the floral corner triangles around your trees. Very cute!

    Anna, if you find a paper pieced block that you want to make and it's too small, you may add borders to the outside to make it 6 1/2" if necessary. We had a couple of blocks this last time that blocks were made larger that way and it will work. Just don't take off any papers, and make sure they measure exactly 6 1/2" square so they will fit with all the other blocks.

    Thank you regards my trees.

    Thanks! That is very helpful. I think it will add to the blocks in more then just size and will make them look nicer. Off I go to set up the trusty old mechanical Bernina and xerox some blocks.

    You can also enlarge designs on your printer if it has sizing.

    So, I was thinking that one might find a flag in their garden or what about a kite tied to a stick in the garden... flying in the breeze all by itself? Am I having trouble staying in the box? My true colors might be beginning to show up!


    Love your trees Ronda, especially with the pansies.
