I've been playing with the bib pattern and had a blast finishing it to give to my DGD this weekend. I'd love to make another one...or five... but want to make sure it's the right size. So all you PP…Continue

I seem to be having a problem downloading this to my computer. I have followed your instruction to do it but only the layout appears and no block or pattern.

I am a long time member of "Quilting With Us" (QWU). I used to give virtual workshops here. Like many others, I have ventured out as QWU became more quiet.
We are getting the warning that QWU is at risk of being disabled. I fear this is a sign that QWU will one day be no more.
It has become like family here and the thought of losing the friendships we have developed has giving me a sad heart. Like many dark clouds, there is a silver lining. When I ventured out, I created a quilters social network, much like QWU. I never mentioned it, for it was a conflict of interest. However, in this dark hour, it is time to let others know there is an alternative. It does not have to end here.
I would be honored for QWU members to join "Pattern Pastiche". If needed, we are more than happy to create a group for your new home.

Nancy, the only pp quilts I have done are wall hangs and table runners. I have think I need to break out and do a twin/lap size quilt. I picked the quilt pattern out but I’m not confidante to change the pattern yet. Maybe one day.
Nice to see some chat here again! I love paper piecing, just don't like a whole quilt with it, lol. DH designed a pp baby quilt for us once, told him never again, that was my quilt from He--! Turned out great, but took me from Father's Day to Labor Day, more working on it, than not, to get it done. So that was a lesson for both of us. But love doing pp blocks, then added them to the rest of a quilt, that isn't, lol...
Donna,
Thanks for answer me. I just started foundation piecing, looking for a group where I could ask questions and get advise.
I took a class and realy enjoyed it. I liked that the points came out prefect, hope its not because it was my first time.
Is this group still going?
Craftsy's has a carol dork class going on right now...if anybody is interested
HI Teresa....thanks for your note...I meant when you find a pattern...anyones what size should you enlarge it? I find the small ones look very pieced lol you know what I mean.?
Mdm, "what is a good size to make my patterns...if they are only 4 inch square?" What do you mean? A four inch finished size block for me is pretty big. My computer software can make my blocks larger or smaller when needed.
