it's for beginners but do not think it will be quick... every time i decide to do it again for the 'tiny, detailed' capabilities, i get frustrated and do something else.. it takes a long time to do one block.... not for me, but you might love it...

Welcome from Indiana! I like paper piecing too! Don't get discouraged and you can find lots of tutorials on the internet as well as free patterns. Take it slow and don't give up too quickly, you will really appreciate the sharpness of your points. Paper piecing is the only way I can do a log cabin block and not have it come out wonky!!!

Welcome from Ontario, Canada. There are beginner paper pieced patterns. Start there and soon you will be surprised at how quickly you can move to more advanced patterns once you have the basics mastered.

Welcome from Texas! I enjoy paper piecing--it's just different and a break from traditional piecing, plus you can get some great block designs that you can't get with traditional piecing. Don't make the mistake that I did and start out with something too tiny and complicated.
