    PPing alphabet?

    I have been able to find the alphabet letters in Caps but does anyone know where I can find a paper piecing pattern for the lower case letters?
    Thanks for any info, MaryJane

    Found one, but it's not free and has the "personal use only" claim on it.

    Lower case letters have a lot of curves that may be why there aren't many patterns for them. There is a very easy method in the book Fat Quarter Fonts to get letters and numbers in a quilt.
    Got fabric?

    Bonnie Hunter's friend Tonya has a book on doing freeform alphabet letters. I think she has it on www.quiltville.com for sale? You might want to look at it.

    You can buy Tonya Ricucci's book "Word Play Quilts" at Martingales.com as an e-book for under 20$ unless the price has gone up. It includes a lettters and number chart. This is the book Tartan refers to.
