Scrap41 You are right about Bonnie Hunter's site. I went there after reading about it on this thread and I have picked out one I want to use as my first pp project. Thanks for explaining your use of the interfacing sounds a lot easier than the paper. I think I will give it a try.

Love her book which comes with a DVD.
I agree .. if it was not for Carol Doaks instructions , I never would have gotten into paper piecing.. I just love it now. At first I could not wrap my brain around it. But decided take it step by step following her instructions , and wow .. I got it ! It goes slow , almost painfully , when you start , but once you "get it" it really gets faster !
Note: start with a unit/block that only has a few pieces( maybe 4 or 5) till you "get" the process , then move onto more complex units/blocks.... and cut your fabric larger than recommended when learning.
