I'm glad to see your back and quilting again! I must be a little daft today. I can't figure out how you are reusing the freezer paper. I have a pattern that is mostly flying geese and I would love to use your method but for some reason I can't get how you're doing it. I know how to PP so I should be able to understand it, duh! Can you please help clarify a little more? Thanks so much!!

Capital T
The name of the block is capital T and it is in block base #1662c. It is so easy. Make your geese at 4 1/2 finished) that is two geese sewed together. The HST's are 4 1/2 finished and the middle square is cut at 4 1/2. The block will finish at 12.5. You need four sets of geese, four sets of HST's and on middle patch.
It depends on where you put your lights and darks and mediums for the effect you want to get. I am limited with the fabrics that were already picked by my friend and so it will be what it will be lol.
I got the instruction to pp on freezer paper years ago from Barbara Valk )electric Quilt company) and never went back to tearing paper again. I will post the info when I start again.

Ok I went to utube to find you a video on PP on freezer. I will not comment lol...so lets see if I can do this so you can understand it. It is understood that you know how to pp on paper. You will have your pattern printed on the back side of the fp. On the sticky side you will lightly press your triangle (doing my pattern) making sure that you are at least 1/4 inch past the pattern lines or a little more. Put you card or, I use a piece of a plastic sheet, on the line where the next join is going to be, and fold the pattern back, place 1/4 inch ruler and cut, now you have your 1/4 inch seam. place your next tri, right sides together on the previous tri, now sew the seam, Notice the paper is folded back, you are not sewing through the paper, The tri is stuck on the back of the paper and is not moving.
Now fold the paper down and lightly iron that tri down, now do the other side and press that tri down and so on....you are doing the same thing, except that you don't sew through the paper but instead you fold it back and just sew the fabric seams together. I have a 1/4 inch foot on my brother quilt club that runs besides the paper fold and sews the seam on the fabric only. Just remember to fold the paper back and iron that piece on. Iron from the back, not on the fabric side. Iron on the pattern side.
