Cool block! I'm going randomly scrappy. My stash is too small to coordinate anything.

My firefox printing situation is even worse. I haven't been able to print anything other than pdfs from firefox since Vista came out.

I go the copy into Word route for just about everything. Grr.

Help anyone???? Thanks so much

Geowyn, in Word rt. mouse click on the jpg,
then select "Format Picture",
select the "Size" tab at top,
under "Scale" change height and width to 100%,
press "Ok".

Thank you so much. I will try it tomorrow when I am not so tired and the brain is working again. lol.

That should do it! If you need more specifics, let me know! :-D

Thanks Sula for getting us started. This is the perfect block to begin with. I've only done paperpiecing on two blocks before and they were pretty basic. This is a good time to learn!

And thanks to each of you who posted about the size discrepancy. I appreciate the heads up!

Just finally printed out my pping block, it took over an hour to size it perfectly for the one inch test square. I think this should be a very fun block to try, thanks for choosing it!

I never did get the first page to print correctly, I'm going to try all of these tips today and get that done. I've never done paper piecing before, so this is a challenge. I worked on the top two strips last night and got frustrated. I had to put them together just to prove that it would look like the top of a church. Boy was I surprised when it did. Looking forward now to finishing the block.

I can't get it to print out the right size either I have tried about 15 times and the test squares all come out different or it only prints half the pattern.
