Yay! I have fabrics for the first 6 blocks cut and ready to go. Papers through 70 are printed, through 50 are cut and measured. I will be cutting more tonight.

Oh wow! I don't have anything cut, or even really picked out fabric wise. I'm planning to sort of play it by ear as I go... Should I be more concerned about cutting fabric in advance?

I'll be cutting fabric for the first two blocks today. If I have time before we start, I'll get everything ready for the second set. I don't want to get too far ahead of myself in case I want to change course with the PP paper or fabrics. I'm taking the laid back, go with the flow approach -- which means I'll probably fall behind and miss a block or two that I'll need to catch up on later!

OK just reordered book from Amazon, but delivery not until Aug 8 so guess not getting ahead as I wanted to, so fabric is washed and pressed, here's hoping what I have picked out is OK, wish could do something else to get ready instead of waiting till last minute.

So I had better start digging for my other FWS so I can sew along with different blocks....I could really confuse the newbies, but I won't...

Okay, I have been lurking this thread long enough. I am going to join you crazy ladies. Lol.
My hubby bought me the book for my birthday and it arrived today. Woot woot!
I am am with some other ladies on here that have never paper pieced before, but have always wanted to learn. So, here I go I am diving in sink or swim.
Since I don't know how to paper piece the notebook think sounds confusing to me.
i look forward to getting to know all of you during this craziness. Lol

huskyquilter--I like to be able to just grab a baggie and sew when I have time. I did that with the Farmers Wife Pony Club quilt and it worked out well so I figured I would do the same thing again. I would suggest at least having the papers printed and cut out so you can pick fabrics/cut and sew....you don't *have to* pre cut! We all do our own thing you will find.
