    I'm sure there are freebies around, and, of course, you could always reduce a regular pattern, but here's George's site - he does amazing work!

    I have 50 Little Paper-Pieced Blocks by Carol Doak. I think it has cute patterns.

    Sally Collins is an amazing precision piecer. Ive used her techniques and turned out great miniatures. Our guild had her come and teach. Not everyone loved it because of the precision involved but most really wnt r it. Her dvd is worth every $. I think she has something on youtube

    I took an all day workshop with Sally Collins once on precision machine piecing (traditional piecing, not paper piecing), and I tell everyone it is, hands-down, the best class I have ever taken. And I have taken more than just a few classes. Buy her book, and if you even adopt just a few of her practices, all your piecing, miniature or not, will go so much more smoothly. I have bought her book more than once as gifts for quilter friends, too.

    Second the vote on Sally Collins.

    Can also recommend Little Lone Star Quilts by Lorraine Olsen - YES the Lone Stars are paper pieced!! It's a different technique but it works great. Suggest that you use a paper specific to PP as opposed to regular copy paper for these.

    I made the one below from this method.

    May your stitches always be straight, your seams always lie flat, and your grain never be biased against you.

    When doing miniatures paper pieced or not, precision is the trick. That is why I recommended Sally Collins.
