Hi mona, if you look at the beginning of the pattern, the author gives you a link to her practice square that she recommends to do first. I did that the first time and caught on right away.

For more info here is a link to another tutorial about how to do paper piecing.

And here is another one. http://www.connectingthreads.com/tut...iece__D61.html

I hope this helps you understand how to use the patterns. Have fun! Once you get started you will see it is fun and not hard at all !

WOW!! Another gorgeous Snow Blossom's block. You did a terrific job for your first paper piecing project & then a first picture posting!! Way to go. The fabric you chose to put together is lovely too. What a well done job. Thank you so much for sharing with all of us here on the quilting board!!

Mimi......I just love your Snow Blossom block for January. Your snowflake fabric is just darling. I wish I could have found some of that myself!! What a great job. Congratulations on your new Ipad, it looks like you are learning to use it really well!! Keep up the wonderful work.

I just love all of these blocks! I just hope I can do as well. Maybe this weekend I'll find my stuff and can sew.

Hello Aquarius, there are many free resources to learn how to paper piece! The pattern itself gives a link to instructions for a simple sample square. This is enough to get you started!

At the beginning of what pattern? I looked at the pattern given and it shows pics of the ladies that did it and it takes me to the quilters cache but I see no instructions. I am obviously missing something. It is so frustrating to be on here and be so inept when I am. I am computer saavy and use it daily at work and home, I am usually a quick learner etc but with this whole thing I AM NOT. It is making me nuts and I havent even started. I see the other site you gave and I thank you for that but I sure would like to find the one that goes with this specific block. Should I click on the block in the quiilters cache? I thought I did that but didnt see anything but I will try again. Thanks everyone for all your tips and links. I am saving every one! I feel like such a dunce...

Yes in quilters cache. At the top of each pattern page she gives a link to her simple tutorial.
