Thank you for the paper piecing link. Is ill be making my blocks scrappy. Growing up on the farm, we never had enough money to purchase fabrics for quilts so they all scrappy. As a farmers daughter when a child, I was lucky to get new shoes. As a farmers wife today, I fair a little better but am still frugal. Thanks again.

My sister has my FW pattern right now and I plan on doing these small blocks in the future. I have had the book and CD for a number of years and made a couple blocks then set it aside. This could be the inspiration to get back at it.

Now I've got the paper piecing patterns, thanks to Gay, does anyone have any suggestions about color? I've never done a sampler so no clue on how to give it some coherence. The closest I've been is a crocheted granny afghan done when a child, which was all bright clear stained-glass tones of every color, and a black background. Not sure that would work here. I've a good sized stash and I could work with it, just don't know how to select.
Thanks!
