3. dark- Templates # 6 and 6 R Cut 1 strip 2" x 7" long
Use templates to cut pieces.
4. dark- Template #7 cut 1- 2 3/8" square. Cut in half diagonally.
5. light- Template # 7 cut 1- 2 3/8" square cut in half diagonally
OPTION: Instead of above, you may choose to cut 2- 2" squares -place them on the correct side of the light rectangle.
sew on the center line of the square diagonally, press flip the little to the corner, press again then trim away the corner underneath. Just make sure the sewing line is going in the correct direction
6. light- Template # 8 cut 1- 3 1/7/8" square, cut in half diagonally, use only one.
7. light- Template # 9 cut 2 2" x 3 1/2 " rectangle.
8. dark- Template # 10 cut one- 7/8" x 7 7/8" strip on the bias.
Option: Use curved template for applique.
Block # 4
1. light- Template # 11 cut one strip 1-1/2" x 14" long
2. med- Template # 11 cut one strip 1-1/2" x 14" long
3. dark- Template # 11 cut one strip 1-1/2" x 14" long
Sew in the order of light,med,dark- the strips lengthwise,
press to the dark side then cut into 3-1/2" pieces.
I have given the length of 14 inches so there will be room for trimming.

I am trying my second paper piecing. I printed the foundation from EQ6 but their numbering doesn't make sense. Can anybody tell me what is the sequence?

You have to click to number your own Leakus, and click on three different groupings. 1 group could include A8,9,11 &4...another A5,6 &7, and another A3,10,2,&1. But of course they won't be those numbers anymore...that's just to explain how you can group them together. You have to tell EQ how to seperate the groups yourself. There are a couple of different ways you could group these, always keeping in mind with PPing, you must be able to stitch the next seam straight, with no intersecting lines to interrupt.
You won't want to click on the handle either. If you're having trouble you can PM me. Good luck!

I'm working on a block that it's easier to place a template on the strip to get it right without using the ruler to measure the 1/16th of an inch.. My eyes are going cockeyed with all the little lines.

I would also like to join in the Farmer's Wife quilt. Since I was a farmer's wife and also helped with all the farming chores, I think this is a quilt I would like to make. I just ordered the book today so I will hopefully catch up soon.
