i think you can use both directional fabrics but save them for the blocks that its easy to control the direction.
dealing with directional and paper piecing just adds one more element to the challenge.
save this fabric for when we get to applique or when we hit the christmas holiday season.
it will be easier to control the direction on those types of blocks.
you won't have to worry about cutting in angles in the opposite direction so that the directional print goes the right way when paper piecing.
i did this on one block and i won't ever do it again - it turned a 1 hour block into 3 hours of work.

i love the color combo, its one of my favorite aside from purple & green.
you'll know right away which blocks to use them on, most of the november & december blocks will look great with this fabric.
plus the heart appliques would work.

i was reading the other thread and organizing my blocks for this popped into my head, thanks for the ideas. I better start soon as it will become unmanageable later on. I like the idea of placing them in a 3 ring binder but then I wouldn't be able to see the development of the whole picture like Klue was talking about. Still undecided as to how to go about this.
