Deep breath in......exhale slowly........and go for it!

I learned from a book by Carole Doaks. I think it was beginner paper piecing, don't recall the exact name. There are also videos on you tube. It's not as hard as you think , and really easy once you wrap your head around the concept of doing things a little backwards. I know you can do it, if you follow along and take it one step at a time.

thanks for the information,quilters have got the most friendly folks in the world, this will be my fifth quilt,my first one was an obark star and still my favorite one thanks again I will send a picture, I make about one quilt a year, I'm really not that slow i just have lots of projects lol

i haven't tried paper piecing yet--looks intimidating...but i LOVE the way that the new york beauties and mariner's compass look, so i'm sure it won't be too long till i try!

I posted this tutorial link here earlier today

Freezer paper is used, no tearing off the paper afterwards, equals no mess!

This group is so GREAT--so many of you can guide us through with videos. You have such a knack to know where to find them. You are appreciated, Jeanne
