One that you can get from your local library ;)

If you don't want a book there are lots of free paper piecing patterns and instructions on the internet. I've gotten lots of great stuff that way. I agree about books by Carol Doak. She's great!

There's an Alex Anderson book for about $10 + s/h

Anita Grossman Solomon is considered the founding mother of paper piecing. You can get her book used for $1.99 + s/h

Any Carol Dorak book is a good investment - clear, concise directions. Also check out her website for good tips. enjoy paper piecing - it is addictive - I'm warning you :)

Carol Doak is excellent but so is anything by Nancy Mahoney. She was in my quilt guild when I lived in Florida and I got to see her beautiful quilts up close. Here is a picture of one I paper pieced a few years ago. I received a second place for it in a quilt show. it was so much fun to make and had over 2000 pieces in it. You will love paper piecing!

I certainly agree with the majority.. Carol Doak, she has some very good books.

Carol Doak is the best IMHO, but with paper piecing be warned; you either love it or hate it. Hope you are one of the ones who love it.
