Re: Paper piecing help
Thank you all so much for your help. There is NOTHING around here unless I want to drive at least an hour, and that just doesn't work wrk for me.

Re: Paper piecing help
IowaGal, I'm with you on the confusion of paper piecing... I made my second ever attempt at it today, and just thought I'd understood the basics when I accidentally cut off a piece instead of the seam allowance after the piece was sewn on! #/&%/%€#!#∞§[#^&

Oasis, thanks for the carol doak website. Checked it out and printed the free pattern. I am going to give it a try.

Re: Paper piecing help
I'm a ppiecing beginner but I have 2 of Carol Doaks books, bought on ebay, I think.....One of the books has a cd and you can resize the blocks and print directly from that so that one involves no tracing,etc.
I started with square in a square to get the hang of it and am gradually getting more detailed.

I just received the "Quilts through the Seasons" DVD and El gives a very nice demonstration of paper/foundation piecing of the February Heart quilt. You feel like you are right in the room with her while watching these.
Just saw Calicopuzzle's instructions and they are wonderful! Thanks.
