I've done Mariner's Star and found an older version of Bali Wedding Star that I keep saying I am going to start!
I have to agree they are well worth the money. I've bought other paper piecing patterns that you have to make copies of and the sizing usually gets me into trouble.
I had no issues with how she showed to paper piece.....you don't have to chain piece, but it does help the quilt go together faster....and is more efficient than one block at a time.
I would definitely do another!
