Thanks thanks thanks and HUGE hugs for the paper piecing instructions. The postcard trick is the thing I needed. I was having an awful time with getting the folded paperright for the seam trim. I owe ya one!

You are very welcome. I got the idea from Carol Doake that was on Simply Quilts one time. I will be happy to pass the information on to anyone else that would like it...hope the print came through ok.

So to anyone else out there having trouble with paper piecing, I sent IowaGal a print out I made one time for a class I taught at our guild. I hoped I could simplify the directions. I will pass it on if you want me to. You must send me a pm and your e-mail address.

By the way, the postcard idea is a great way to use some of your favorite greeting card pictures you hate to throw away!!

I always dislike throwing those little FQ cardboard pieces away. I can't help but think there is SOMETHING these can be used for.

Great Idea Iowagal!!!!!!
Have Fun,
