For my first paper piecing project, I checked out a book by Carol Doak from the library.  There is a site called Paper Panache that specializes in paper piecing.  They even have free patterns and mystery blocks to get you started.

I seen a book of paper piecing patterns and they made some really neat quilts. But I went back later to that store and ask if they had it, they did not and did not know what the title was. Just that it was an AQS book. Does anyone know of a book such as this. Sorry I have not given much to go on.

I am doing my first paper pieced quilt. It will be a gift for our new grandson. The pic at the left is the pattern I am using. I think it is a nice simple pattern to use for my first quilt.

Hi. My name is penny. I have decided my next project is going to be a paper pieced quilt. Just waiting for my instruction books to arrive. Looking forward to help form this group.

Hi, everyone. I am new to this group. I have wanted to try foundation piecing for some time, but hadn't found a good way to learn it, until a few days ago, I signed up for the Craftsy class the B A mentioned. I have started going through the tutorials and made the first block (pinwheel polka) and I am hooked!

1/19/12@6:46pm MST;  Hi Angela:  I was thinking to get that second book that is not available till April in your area, you could order it on line from Amazon (at a reduced Price) & get it earlier(like in a week or so) also, when I order from Amazon I order enough to get free shipping on the whole order.  Just a thought, hope you are making progress with your coloring.  BA

1/18/12 @2:24pm mdt: Hi Angela, thanks so much for the reply & I just came across a web site you might be interested in: www.Craftsy.com/Class/Quick-Strip-Paper-Piecing/43 they are offering a class @ 1/2 price for a limited time & I just previewed the lessons & will be signing up after I finish writing this.  No time limit on the class & you can go back to the lessons as often as necessary, which I think is a super idea, to refresh the techniques etc.  You indicated you are moving into a new home?  Congratulations & good luck with it.  How exciting.  You will have to tell me all about your new sewing area once you are settled in.  Thanks for your suggestions & will be happy to keep in touch.  BA

Hi BA. In Bonnie's book it is called Windmill - Twisted Log Cabin and there is a great photocopiable page for planning it - I have only got as far as buying the colouring pencils to start playing!!! I am waiting for the other book, which sadly isn't available here in UK until April, before I decide which quilt I am going to make this year as we are moving house and I have to keep my sewing very tidy all the time:(  I have tried twisted log cabin and it is not difficult just very fiddly with a real need for precision but doing it as a foundation should be a lot easier.  I think I would do it on a very fine backing such as Vilene rather than the Vellum suggested in the book but that is personal preference and my machine will handle it ok.  Love to keep in touch.  Angela
