I just finished the first set of blocks!! I love them. I cannot believe that I went from ZERO paper piecing experience straight to THIS!! LOL I think I'll be able to PP anything after this project, eh?? :D

I haven't come up with a real name yet for mine... but I'm using fabrics that are my interpretation of civil war reproductions and muslin. So Civil War Repro for now!

you can paper piece anything now - its really easy once you get the basic idea - there isn't a block you can't PP.

Way to go Brazen! Your blocks are stunning. I'm so impressed that you are self taught paper piecer. I was so confused, I had to take a class, and even then, it took additional time at the instructor's house to get it down!

I do not have the mirror choice clicked and mine read from left to right. I have printed 2 ways from the software, working on quilt select triangle (learned this from BC last night) click the icon size from quilt changes to correct size go to top print icon choose foundation and go from there, the other way work on block, harder to find the triangle you want but after you select the one you want choose print using the print icon on top of screen, make sure you change the size and preview print. Both come out the same, Unit C stills read from left to right, 1,2,etc. Does this make sense.

i understand what you saying about how the numbers read but where i have #1 you have #1 too and where i have #5 you have #5.
are numbers are in the exact same triangle sections except my piece isn't printing upside down.
when i preview my blocks/triangles my pieces are all a mess and on top of each other.
i have to pull them all apart and move then around, i've never had my pieces nicely placed like yours.

yes.
printed side of paper is facing me. directly under that is number 1 fabric with the wrong side up and directly under that is number 2 fabric with right side up.
i sew the line between 1 and 2 and then i press fabric number 2 open so it covers the section 2 on the paper.

Has anyone else heard or read of this? I am going to try it today, if it is not so I will only lose a couple pieces of paper. If it is so then I won't make the mistake I made on my triangle.

let me know how the experiment works out for you
I did have to check the reverse for the triangle, that didn't stay in reverse for the second triangle. I don't feel that that is a problem though.
