QUESTION - is it NOT EASIER to cut out the shapes individually and then iron them onto your material and then stitch them together? I realise you will loose some of the joins, but one could mark with a PEN??? Just thinking aloud. HELP ME PLEASE... Thanks ;)

But seeing this on here makes me jazzed to get it out and get going on it again!
Thanks so much!

I'm excited your doing a New York Beauty. Is it Karen Stones pattern? This was my firsh quilt and I really had a lot of fun with all the different fabrics. I can wait to see your progress!

This is out of this world. I HAVE TO DO SOMETHING like this. I stick to quilting and small pp, now i am very inspired to do something this year. Must order the book and patterns. Thanks to everyone for sharing your ideas and tips. It has helped me a lot also. New to pp. ;-)

I'm learning all aspects of piecing with the Jane quilt we are doing here on QuiltingBoard and currently working on Japanese Fans by Judy Neimeyer. I think her PP patterns are the easiest to follow and give you templates for pre-cutting your fabrics.
Here is a pic of what I've done so far.

Sometimes I will do a block just to relax and for something different.

Some made curtains for their bathroom. An idea for a couple of these blocks. Put them at the bottom of the curtain for border decoration.
ANOTHER THING I WOULD LOVE TO DO! :cry:

I love pp anytime I find a pattern I really like it gets made.... when i get my block sections done i baste between the sew line and the cut line then I trim and the fabric doesn't shift on me...works real well and the stitching doesnt show anyplace...you dont have to remove it. Hope this tip helps.
