    Default Paper Piecing

    I have done my first paper piecing and really love it! I have sworn now to only do paper piecing from now on!
    My question is what or who has a great book with paper piecing patterns in it, that is a good one for me to get. The person who showed me how to do this had the Carol Doak book. That was okay, but I'm not into doing the flowers or baskets right now. Are there others that you would recommend?

    I love the Barn Buggy books. I am collecting fabrics to make the Crazy Cats Quilt. Look here to see how cute it is.

    I have the 365 Foundation Quilt Blocks book by Linda Causee, but my first PP project (still working on it) came from quilterscache.com

    There are tons of free paper piecing patterns online too.

    Don't forget the paper piecing section here also for more ideas. Go to the "main" tab, then scroll down to the "user defined topics" about 2/3 of a page down -- there are many different ideas there to share

    Go to quilterscache.com if you want free paper piece patterns. Scroll down until you see the quilt blocks galore, almost at the bottom of the page. You can either search by size or alphabetically. They have a pin guide as to wether it is pp or pieced. Awsome site, look at it quite a bit. They have a pp hunters star that i plan on making after the first of the year. Good luck, I love pp too

    Many traditional pieced blocks can be converted into paper pieced. It just takes a little practice
