I took a class at my LQS using Karen Stone's book called Cinco de Mayo which was all paper pieced. The teacher was great and my project took me a couple years to complete, but I really got hooked and would love to do more. Maybe I need to put that on my to do 2011 list.

I learned to paper piece from our very own Amma, she gave a tutorial may need to search for it. It was very easy to follow, I picked right up on it and away I went!! :-) :-) :-) Thanks again amma.

Carol Doak and Alex Anderson have great books out there for paper piecing. Agree with pookie ookie to check out youtube for some videos. Good way to learn. Most of all just have fun!!

This year I became interested in paper piecing, googled it and learned through youtube.com from all of the videos available. There are plenty of free paper piecing patterns available online. So, I actually haven't spent any money on books or patterns.

Oh, and yes, there was a learning curve. Trial and error and redoing have taught me tons. Hope that works for you. One can get so tickled with themselves when it turns out correctly!!! LOL :lol: :lol:

Yes, Carol Doak I learned via her DVD which I got at Joann's with a coupon for 1/2 price...It's much easier via DVD then book because you see it

Check with your local library, you might be able to get one of Carol Doaks books. Look for the books that have CD's with them that you can load on the computer and watch a tut on it. That is what I did. it is actually very helpful. I made a doll quilt with paper piecing. it was actually one of carol doaks from her website. you will really like paper piecing. My next quilt is going to be paper pieced, well once I get the one done for my SIL. good luck and share what you do when you are done.
