Welcome to the wonderful world of paper piecing. The "Queen of Paper Piecing" Carol Doak's web site is very helpful. She also has a Yahoo group and lots of free patterns. All the members there are most helpful if you need any questions answered. I teach paper piecing and once the new students catch on they want to keep on doing their blocks this way. Check out Carol's website,
