    Perfect house to start the year with - it looks so 'pieceful'.
    Now to find the fabrics ...

    Oh boy ...this is my first paper piecing project! I printed off the instructions on that website for paper piecing so I can practice first. I think the blue batik for sky was a good choice too!

    I just printed out the 3 templates. This will be my first BOM. I'm so excited about all the different houses. This church is absolutely awesome, what a great choice to get started with.

    I love love love paper piecing. I can't wait to get started and thank goodness we have a whole month to make each block, that way I can probably keep up.
    Good luck everyone I can't wait to see all the different, beautiful pictures of each house as we go along.

    I just printed off my pieces. Had to fiddle with the sizing but all ok. I will do the test piece first since this is my first time too! Then on to the House of God. ;-)

    I just printed off 1 page and the 1" test square does not equal 1". Using Opera browser...gonna try IE to see if that'll allow me to resize or print actual size without modification.

    ETA: I was able to print it off and get the 1" test square to be 1" using Internet Explorer.

    If there is a better way, I don't know it. I have to copy/paste into Word (word processing) and resize the pics to "100%". If there is an easier way to print from Firefox, please let me know. TIA!

    Oh, and doing the test piece really helped give me a good idea and to make sure to have enough overlap for seam allowances.

    Dang I wish I didn't have to go to bed this is such a nice block, and did you look at the finished ones on the site? The table runner would have been perfect for my moms B-day tomorrow, Since I am a procrastinator though I will be comming home after a 13 hr night and finishing pillow cases:(
