I found the video on flat stitching and saved it as this info will come in handy when I start Sweet Surrender which has very simple epp but still one needs all the help one can get. That's what I too like about the internet-lots of good info out there.<br />I hope you have enough fabric to re make the second go'round just like the first as your colors and fabrics are perfect for this block.Pamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06844124404215583301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3816121512164080677.post-63134331060776445822016-08-02T15:08:37.447-04:002016-08-02T15:08:37.447-04:00Hi, Chris1 Well, I’m not necessarily making the q...Hi, Chris1 Well, I’m not necessarily making the quilt, just making some of the blocks. I’ll mix them up with other 6” blocks and do my own sampler thing with them. But I’m going to give Prudence one more try to see if I can do it better the second go ‘round. Wish me luck!<br /><br />Thanks for stopping by,<br />Rebecca<br />Rebecca Gracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14801489818836195754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3816121512164080677.post-71862119445274834732016-08-02T12:29:01.774-04:002016-08-02T12:29:01.774-04:00I love your EPP version.

I'm also making blocks from the first Farmer's Wife book, the one with the darker browns and beiges and letters from the 1920s. So far, from my limited experience, the blocks in the first book are easier, but I downloaded the FPP patterns from a Yahoo group for the blocks from that book because only templates are included on that CD. For the 1930s sequel, the author included FPP patterns as well as templates on the CD. Good luck, and have fun!Rebecca Gracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14801489818836195754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3816121512164080677.post-22194353340271800072016-08-02T09:17:55.493-04:002016-08-02T09:17:55.493-04:00Oh my.

This convinces me both why I don't paper piece and why paper piecing produces the most amazing blocks. You will be blessed by this learning curve-you are learning so much!Jenny K.

At this stage of my quilting career, I just want to have fun! (Cue Cyndi Lauper with a few words changes!) <br /><br />P.S. I think the front looks great.
