    thanks for posting this very pretty block, I have very little time but one block a month should be doable.

    Count me in too. I have never paper pieced before so this will be interesting. A new learning skill. Yeah. It is a pretty block. I have to decide which way I am going with this.

    I printed everything out, but the paper piecing templates printed out small. Do I enlarge them? How much? The typing at the top of the page says scaled 55%. Is that the way it is supposed to be? Sorry for being stupid but I have never paper pieced before!

    I had trouble too. I finally double clicked on the file and it brought up Paint. These are usually pdf files, but this one is a GIF. I had to change it to 100% in Paint and it printed perfectly. Very frustrating I know! Hope this helps.

    I started PP not to long ago. When I copy a pattern i aways do an extra copy so if I want to make more later I have a set to copy.Then I don't have to hunt them up online.lol

    Thanks! I managed to get it changed in my printer software. At least I think it is the right size - the seam allowances do measure 1/4". Hope I am good to go! Thanks for your help.
