See? Practice makes perfect. You go, girl, you're getting there! And won't you feel proud for mastering a new technique?

And look at it this way. Everytime you learn something new, you stimulate those neuro-transmitters and are winning the battle against Alzheimer's.

ok check this out....I printed out 25 copies of the paper pieces pattern....at 100% i might add....and horizontaly it is 4 1/2 BUT vertically it is 4....what am i doing wrong??? or is it supposed to be this way?!?!?!?!

April, the large piece would be 4", because the small strip is the other 1/2" - two separate sections should have printed out. Am I right?

Wow, 25?!? girl, you are going to town!!! Have fun! I'll check back later, but I'm sure you just forgot to add the measurements of the top section.

Gerda

Linda, so glad to have you join us!! I'll add you to the list! woohooo, we are up to 12 !! people already!!

Gerda

Linda, thanks for the encouragement but I've just got too much that I need to get done. I promised this year I would get all those blocks I've collected through swaps made.

Well so far I have exactly "zero" towards that goal. I'm afraid I'm "swapped out". I mean it's been how many swaps and not a quilt. So I have to just stop and do it! So I am!

The blocks are wonderful and the swap idea is great. I am just going to stick it out and pass this one up.

Betty

Gerda...25..yes ma'am!! I am giving myself room for practice and mistakes lol....

yes i did forget to add the top piece...forgot ALL about that one!

Betty...thats ok....i will take some on those swap blocks off your hands and use to make a quilt for BB....just a thought....

I have my 12 ornaments made {and they aren't Blue} they are ready to remove the paper...now all I have to do is make one when someone else joins in...come on ladies put me to work, LOL

Rebecca
Thanks, It is good to be back.

Come on and join in you wont learn how to make them until you give it a try, just like piecing you have to start so jump in with us, if I can do it you can too. If you scroll back there are several sites posted to help you with PP.

Something that helps me keep my first piece in place is a little dot of glue stick then after that line up each piece with the last seam. Hold it up to your desk light and you can see that you have it in place and or ajust as needed.

Betty
I hope you get going on your quilting and you can join in with us on this one too. I finally got me some heat-n-bond lite so now I can go to work on my kitty blocks, I made up several to see how they would look and I do like the 12" Kitty Swap, I believe 12" kitties will look great in a quilt top.

Kylie
Your ornaments are looking great you go girl.

Pat
I hope you are joining in with us too.

WOW, Debo! When you come back to BC you come with a vengeance! All 12 done so far.

I've printed out 12 copies of the pattern and have my fabrics mostly picked out. I think they will all be the same, if I can find one other fabric in my stash for them all. Need to get started, since most of August I'm out of town.

OK, Betty. I'll forgive you for not joining in on this one. That is, IF I see some of those finished tops soon. I know I have asked you to get some of those swapped blocks put together so we can see the finished tops. I know of several quilt block sets you've won or swapped that I haven't seen the finished product of: 2-3 HBs, BPS and BPSII, 9/11. LOL!

Happy quilting!

You are a hard taskmaster! LOL Poor Betty! LOL I agree about Deb coming back with a vengence! Wish I had her ambition! I don't even have the blasted pattern printed off yet. Keep forgetting to get a new ink cartridge when I'm out.

Wow, Deb!! I have my pattern printed out 12 times, but have not started yet! You rock!!

Ladies, I forgot to ask you all to PM me your info - name, address, phone # and e-mail address, please.
