I was a bit disgruntled when I spent $40 on a pattern (Jacqueline DeJohnge) at the IQF and it doesn't come with all the pieces needed. Instead you have to do a lot of copying. I would have paid more just to have that already done!
And Judy N's patterns are gorgeous both on the cover and in real life. Next time I want a super challenging one, I will definitely consider this one!

Since most of what I do, I use the freezer paper so I have most of the paper left for the WRS and the plain WR. I know i have them somewhere.
It;s too bad she doesn't give you a choice of just the main pattern parts, so one can make their own and offer the paper as another item.
The Jacquline DeJonge pattern came as a map with no seam allowance. You had to make another copy and add the seam allowances. And since the the pattern page was so large, you had to take it to Kinko's and that was another 20.00 besides the 48.00 that I paid already. There was no reasonable way you could make it without the map on the wall to help you.
Nope, not doing it anymore.

I just picked up a book at the library. More Lap Quilting with Georgia Bonesteel, it has a section in the back with templates you can trace to make you own templates. All kinds of Triangles, Rectangles, Squares, Parallelograms, Trapezolds, Diamonds and all kinds of special pieces. - I will make my templates tomorrow and bring the book back to the library....love no cost ideas!

I just did a search on strip blocks...never even thought there was a triangle way to do it. I found this book http://www.amazon.com/Kaye-Woods-Str.../dp/0873492587 has anyone ever seen it?? Is it any good? Not to many reviews.
Yeah, that is a good idea---IF you use templates. I stopped using them because they are a pain in the keister to cut. I'd rather paper piece or strip cut/piece. No more cutting templates for me. Especially with the ones listed above, which can all be strip cut.
