Thanks for all the input so far! I have watched the Eleanor Burns video, she does make it look easy.
Gaby4v that is a beautiful quilt! I will look into that book.
Jade, i have not heard of the paper pieced method, is there a book or a link for that one?
Also, has anybody used the templates and small book they have at Joanns? It comes all together. I wondered about that one.
