ROW F BLOCK PREP

The first thing I do is make copies of all of the blocks.. from the book and then from the booklet that comes from each packet.  Luckily, my husband has a little copier in our home office.

I cut them all to actual size and mark the color placement. If it is a modified for EPP block, I put the original image in the bag also.  Sometimes, it is possible to make the original version partially using machine paper piecing.  I include it just in case.  I then sort out the bag of pieces and put the block and the pieces into a ziploc bag with the number of the block.

I put stickers on the bag that indicate if I want to mix a technique to make the block.

If you are to this row.. a little heads up

BLOCK F-7 ALERT!  - I have notice putting this one together that a couple of the border pieces are too long.. I'll figure it out.. it is a little sawtooth star.  I may machine piece it anyway.  

BLOCK F-8  ALERT!
When you lay out the pieces matching them to the block, you will notice that a couple of the border pieces fall short.  I found a correction by Paperpieces on Facebook saying that there was an error, but that if they are laid together, they will measure out to 4.5"  this is correct.  I haven't made the block yet, but I laid out just the pieces of the border and they DID measure 4.5"  so no worries..

BLOCK F-9 ALERT!
The paper pieces(leaves) for the center were actually modified for EPP  but they missed putting it into the booklet..

STILL THINKING ABOUT IT

 After finally finishing all of the blocks for the center, and one border, I've probably taken too long of a break.. I still have 3 bord...
