the English Paper Piecing is a very easy (beginner friendly) technique- they are done by hand- very precise results- you simply basted pieces of fabric over paper templates- then place the basted pieces right sides together & whip stitch the pieces together---a great travel / sit & watch tv process. there are plenty of tutorials --many people make the grandmother's flower garden blocks- my project just incorporates a few more shapes- besides hexagons...all though all of the blocks are finished as a hexagon.
visit PaperPieces.com for design sheets, information- supplies- then check out the Quilt Pattern Magazine- which is an online quilter's subscription magazine- which has free (with subscription) groups you can work with to do all kinds of quilting...this one is the 'Dear Me, I'm going to Pieces' group...there is also a baltimore album group- a basket blocks group...and a number of others.
