    I really like the small London Roads. I have to admit, I don't think I'd have the patience to make all those little blocks...Maybe that's why my Farmer's Wives only has (maybe) 6 blocks done....

      Thanks, Katie! - but I didn't make nine little 2" blocks - and then sew them together - ;))

      I printed out the foundation paper pieces for the block - and it came out in three strips - Row 1 - Row 2 - Row 3.

      The piecing starts in the center block and just works its way out to each side - easy, peasy.

      After I trimmed up each row - I removed the papers - and just sewed the rows together.

      The paper piecing is slow going - but I can work on all three rows at the same time - chain-piecing - chain-pressing - chain trimming - ;))
