Thanks ladies for the compliments. I'm still not 100% sold on batiks but I have so many I'm determined to use them.
I'm getting a little nervous--never thought I'd want to work with 30s fabrics but the blocks you ladies have done have me rethinking that. Just what I need to do--buy MORE fabric!! Great blocks everyone.

I agree cooky, I love to see what everyone else is doing! Well after resisting the use of templates, I finally broke down and decided to do it last night after ripping out yet another seem because the piece I cut didn't fit. Boo. So during some slow time at work today, I printed out the templates for Anne and cut the rest of my fabric for her. Didn't bring enough to do the same with April, but I can at least cut out and organize my template pieces so the fabric cutting will be easier.

Husky, I think a lot of these blocks are easier to do with templates. I've done a couple pp and a couple with templates and don't see a difference. When we did the first FWS quilt I template pieced all 99 blocks. I think we need to do what works for us, what gives the best result, and mostly what is most enjoyable.
