Ok I am very interested in this. LOVE paper piecing! I went to look for the book on Ebay - lots available. Question is - are the patterns in the book as well as on the CD? I only have an iPad and cannot download them to print from a CD. Thanks!
I can't really help with the book/CD question but if you go to https://www.quiltpro.com/productPage/Found_Fac_50_Fab you can do a direct download. I am also not sure if that will work from Ipad but you could email them and ask. Happy stitching :-)

I found the all time best paper to use for foundations piecing. It is called "Simple Foundations Translucent Vellum". It goes through my laser printer with no problems as well as my Ink Jet Printer. I brought if from WalMart Online for Round $7.00 for 30 sheets. It is translucent so you can see through it and it tears off soooooo easy. Not all of those little scraps everywhere. Amazon has it too. To me it is worth the price.

Greenbranch, I have some vellum used for architectural tracings. But it is very heavy stock. Is yours very light, more like the old-fashioned stationery or airmails papers? $7 for 30 sheets sounds expensive but I can't remember what I paid for the Carol Doak arithmetic paper...it is a little easier to see through than copy paper but not by much.
Macybaby thanks for the explanation on the fussy-cut. I love what you did to Arkansas. I wasn't too thrilled with some of her color combinations, so I have been experimenting with that, but you are leading the way here by changing up the colors to create a really cool pattern.
Dotty more great colors.
My biggest problem right now is lining up the A and B and assembling the star. Having no luck with her method of basting - every pin is an invitation to skew the two pieces -so trying end-arounds to improve the final product. Love to hear suggestions!

Battlestar Galactica anyone? Star Wars? Treks? I finally flipped the pieces front side up, butting, and scotch taped them in the right spot! Of course, then had to pick it all out...
