It seems a lot of us are kind of new to PPing. I just did my first one last year as well, when I was doing the Stars BOM here on the board. I don't mind doing it, I just think it wastes a lot of fabric. When I do foundation piecing, I can line those templates up right next to each other.

Besides ... as a kid I always loved dot-to-dot and paint-by-number ... so guess, I'm just being a kid again!!!

The first time I did pping was for a Dear Jane and I used freezer paper as the foundation...didn't read the instructions too well and had a very difficult time with removing the freezer paper from the back of the little sections some of which were less than a half inch square...i gave up on it until I did the first FWS and even then it was more work than it is now with the Pony Club...We all learn more as we go along...what shortcuts work best for each of us. I find it much easier of course with the larger blocks. Happy Easter to all of you that Celebrate this Holiday!!! H.

Honchey ... did you finish the DJ without PPing? It's an incredible quit, though until I get to like, no that would be love, templates and applique, there's no way I am going anywhere near it! For what I've seen, it looks like you wouldn't be able to PP many of the blocks. Right? Wrong?

Hi QuiltE, No, I never finished it...I think I did about 10-15 blocks... It's in the closet...I now have enough fabric to complete it with all the leftover scraps from the FWS quilt.....When I started I removed the binding so that I could copy the patterns nice and flat and went from there...I had only heard about pping and never took a class for it...I think I may have seen a TV segment about it.....Hmmmmm....What are we doing after this trip??? To answer your question...I think almost any pattern can be pp'd to a degree if it can't be totally done that way....just need to figure it out. H.

Those blocks you have done would make a nice little quilt ...
And here you are, already thinking ahead to 2013!!!
(and we're not even 1/2 way thru yet?)
Yes ITA ... I've been proving that PPing can be done with all ... A Beauty, Bright Hopes and Birds Eye View (yes, I even did the outer circle as such; appliqued the centre). I think those are all the ones so far that PP patterns were not provided. Just call me ... stubborn!

Photos:[ATTACH=CONFIG]326871[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]326872[/ATTACH] Better late than never. Chocolate cherry cake and Santa singing to his horse. And his horse is thinking and singing, "hay, hay, hay, h-a-y" to the tune of a Rock 'n Roll song "Mop, mop, m-o-p" that line was repeated again and again in the whole song. That D&D block was not easy even with chocolate!!
