All I can say is WOW that is one great quilt.

Ditto.

Thank you - it stressed me a bit - but it was definietly a learning experience for PP!

I haven't done any curves in pp. What's that like? I'm very curious.

I learned PP by taking a class with Carol Doak, and now have several of her books. If you go to her web site www.caroldoak.com you can find many of her free patterns an a lot of helpful hints. I loven pp but haven't done it in a while. Seems too many other things are keeping me busy right now. marge

I love paper piecing! My problem is you are the first person that seems as enthusiastic as I am. I am new to these boards but I am looking for others who love it as well. I am having trouble finding patterns.

You did what I did and used a really tough block to start with. I did a Marinars compass because I did not know enough to kow it was hard. Your block looks great!

Thanks for that link. She has some great designs!

This is the website that has the patterns that I feel I just have to do when I get my current projects completed. The only problem is choosing just one. And knowing that they are pp makes me feel much more confident about my results.

A while back when I was looking at PPing patterns, I found this site with quite a few free patterns. Here's the link:
