I just thought of something. I was so stressed about the colors and not putting two similar fabrics or colors right next to each other, and trying to keep up with my fabrics in the software...then it struck me. Duh. All I have to do is look at my blocks that I have made, and see what's there...for example. If I am about to make M-4. I can look at what I've made at L3-L5, M3, M5 and N3-N5...I also think I'll print out a blank and just use old fashioned pencils to color it in. Just for fun, to include in my journal.

When I print the block if it's complicated I shade it in with pencils so I don't mess up the fabrics.

Hey, ladies! Just so you dont think I've died and gone to heaven, I am here with an update. I, yes, me, one of the gals that has never paper pieced has come into the 21st century. I have "sort of" learned to paper piece...you have no idea how relieved I was after finishing my first PP block (the Amma tutorial one. It seemed so awkward and took forever for that first one...so I made the same block twice more. That went alot easier, so I made the third one for good measure. OK...I sort of get it. That was Saturday.
Sunday was not a day of rest. In a fit of anxiety I decide to do Klue's tutorial for strip piecing. Oh, yea. Thanks, Klue. Seriously, it is so helpful to a neophyte like myself. I made two of that block.
Tomorrow...Week 1, here I come. It almost 1AM, but I might post photos tomorrow, so you all can ooooh and ahhhhh. LOL.
