Thank you Danmar, Pat and Foxigranny! I have lots more to do after I get the center arcs done. The border is heavily pieced and lots of curves, but they're not 4.4" square, so I should be fine. I've done lots of these PP patterns. I'll post a pic when it's done.
Now.............back to Jane! Hugs

Sherri.....I make templates from the Carol Doak patterns.
It makes it so much easier when fussy cutting. I also put a dot at the corner of all the pieces on the wrong side....matching is a snap....I have been paper piecing about 4 years and belong to Carol Doak group...I recomend it to all beginners...the members and Carol are fantastic and very helpful...As for books check your library

Any tips??
Thanks and I'd love to chat about pping.

I use my rotary cutter/ruler to trim on the lines (1/4" past the seam line), so I don't normally have a shifting problem. As for putting the together, you must use pins to line up the lines/points. That is why it is helpful to not remove the paper until the top is together.

I think her PP patterns are the easiest to follow and give you templates for pre-cutting your fabrics.
Here is a pic of what I've done so far.
