    I will check out the site. I went on amazon and found several books by Carol. Most have 4-5 stars in their reviews.

    There is a paper piecing pattern for free on line for the Storm at Sea. It appears to be a more simple PPing project to learn the technique. If you just need a boost to get started, why not take a few books out from the library?

    For a quick summary, I always go here:

    I've been using this as a refresher for years. I have poor spatial skills, and have to go back for a reminder of what goes where every time I do paper piecing. I find this one very clear.
