    beautiful block, Kass. I have trouble with the fabric stretching when I press the paper so I try to drop the iron onto the paper before moving it. Your blocks look great and i’d Be ecstatic with a finished block like yours! I love freezer paper!

    Beautiful block Kass! I'm curious about the difference in using freezer paper.

    With freezer paper you don't sew through the paper, you use the iron to temporarily adhere the paper to the fabric, you fold the paper back on the sew lines and sew only the fabric then replace the paper re press it in place and move on to the next sew line. You can reuse the paper pattern many times. I re used these ones 16 times.

    I don't know how I lucked out on that one, but it did match pretty good, didn't it? I love your avatar pic too.
