Thank you, Tricia! How's the quilt coming by the way? Was that fabric
anything close to what you were looking for? Thanks for the squishy, but I sure didn't expect you to do that! I love the color! Cindy "A&T" wrote in message ink.net...

I'm PP'ing a miniature flying geese quilt right now, using scraps from the baby quilt I'm making. I don't think I could do it without PP. The first quilt I made was a miniature flying geese. It is 6" X 8". I didn't KNOW about paper piecing. That's why all the points aren't perfect. It's in my webshots: http://community.webshots.com/user/cindypucci I was crazy. Cindy |

No, it shows you are a creative person who thinks outside of the box! I
love PP as well and just wish I had more time to do anything related to quilting at this point in time! -- Alice in NJ, Royal Cybrarian http://www.ourcyberfamily.us/ "Just about the time a woman thinks her work is done, she becomes a grandmother."

I usually take a pattern into Photoshop and that works well, too. Although EQ would be ideal. I must say I've never tried PPing a 9-patch, but now I'm going to try.

Here's a link that will explain it better than I can. http://www.quilt.com/HowTo/FoundationHowToPage.html Hope this helps! Nancy in NS http://community.webshots.com/user/loves2quilt |

Hi Jacqueline,
PP is known as Paper Piecing. The block is printed onto paper with numbers that correspond to the order they are sew onto to the paper. Clear as mud, I know. Check out www.caroldoak.com NAYY (not affiliated, yada, yada). PP can make your blocks looks perfect. HTH, Linda in Tx |
