Doh!

Could you pass it off as a true mystery quilt?...A mystery why you made it
this way.
A mystery to understand what has been written...etc???? LOL Mary



" I printed out the blocks I needed, made 3 of the
letters before it dawned on me that I should have mirror imaged the
blocks!

But the really scary part to me is that I didn't see that the letters were
backward. And I even stood back and admired my work.

I guess we see what we want to see, huh.

Printing out the blocks correctly this time.

ROFLOL! Been there and happily done that. By the way, can you share the
site with us???

Did you ever have one of those moments where you just slap YOURSELF upside
the head??

I am doing a paper pieced name. I came across this darling site that had
the alphabet made for you. I printed out the blocks I needed, made 3 of
the
letters before it dawned on me that I should have mirror imaged the
blocks!

This is too funny Cindy......because I did exactly the same thing. I have a
couple of those paper pieced CD's and I printed out the funky letters to do my
daughter's name......finished the first one and looked at it and yup.....slapped
myself upside the head! Went back and redid them....I also print them onto cut
8 1/2 x 11" freezer paper (have to add a regular piece of paper to get it
through the printer, so the glossy side doesn't slip). So I have her name done
and put together, but I still have to finish it, because I want it to be a body
pillow cover for her bed.

I took Radiant Suns. Basically the same block, but with five pieces instead
of 4. I found it pretty easy, but then I'm using cotton.

What class did you take from her Kathy? I've been working on her Vortex
quilt using her templates. It's a bit tricky to put togther until you get
the hang of it. Plus I'm using silks....not the easiest fabric to work
with.
I love her stuff!

YES! I just finished cutting out 80! petals for an applique project. I
fliped the templates on two so the petals are curving the wrong
direction. aargh. I have now re-traced and am cutting those out again.
Sigh. And I even wrote the piece number on the pattern thinking it
would help but some numbers look the same forward and backwards. sigh.

In our class with Cara Gulati she warned us about that, and had us write
our name on the right side, because you'll always know if your name is
right. But she didn't take into account that I haven't had any caffeine
in several months -- I didn't use a permanent marker, so all my marks
wiped off before the end of class. Doh!

Lorraine,

When you print on freezer paper, do you use a laser or ink jet printer?
Thanks
