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..
