Thanks Sewfun no I don't paper piece. I have created my own shortcuts. I use what I call my cut down method. I sew swatches together and then cut out a block from the center with a template.

You can see my Boston Block on my free teaching site
BitsnPieces Workshop the link is above

Here is the link for the Boston Block and there are other blocks on there as well. Just click on home and scroll down to Blocks and you will see several buttons for other "Blocks"

If you click on the bookmark link above you will see my directions for making a bookmark using the Boston Block. '

thanks for asking!
