I agree. You don't need a class. I taught myself to paperpiece by watching free videos. About 99% of my patterns I have gotten free off the internet. I save them to my computer and mix and match them for the projects I want to create. I haven't created my own pp patterns yet. However, I feel I am on the verge of doing that some day IF I ever find the time.

Here are two doll quilts I created with free patterns.

You can learn it. :-D

Thanks! PP is my favorite quilting project ever!

There are some great Foundation Paper Piecing Patterns on this web site, complete with templates.

Plus there are wonderful tutorials on this Board!
Hope you have a lot of fun learning this technique!

Quilter's Cache is the BEST. They have lots of free paper piecing patterns there and even a tutorial and practice pattern. It is where I learned to paper piece. They even had an airplane pattern for my daughter and her special fella. I have a lot of their patterns (paper piecing and reqular). Love them. Give them a look in.

Great site, Thanks Pat.

Thanks for the site!

Her books and DVD's are great! PP has some differences from regular piecing and it helps me to watch how it is done then try it myself. I made some mistakes the first time but after that the process made sense. I wish you were closer and I would invite you to come and watch the DVD with me and hlp you with your first project. :D

The easiest block to paper piece is the log cabin. You can draft your own block.

I am presently working on a Kaffe Fasset pattern with his fabric. I am paper piecing 72 arcs with spokes. I love PP!

I agree that Carol Doak is the BEST! She made a presentation at our guild a couple years ago, and I have most of her books. Definitely go to her website. She even has a yahoo group that you can join. You can also email her for help.

Keep us informed and good luck.
