Not only does this book provide 65 different block patterns,
but you also get complete, easy to understand instructions
and hints for foundation piecing. With many sample quilt
ideas and instructions, you'll want to get started right
away. I won a blue ribbon at the state fair with one!!

I bought this book 15 months or so ago and loved it from the start. What look to be complicated and tricky designs are really straight-forward. There are coloured pages of striking combinations to demonstrate possibilities along with instructions if you want to copy. Otherwise you can have a lot of fun making up your own from the good variety of patterns/settings. I love foundation piecing and Ms Doak's patterns have been straight-forward to sew and pleasing to look at.

First book I got on paper foundation...and will probably be the best one! Easy to follow instructions, and the BEST patterns! Carol really makes it easy to learn and do this type of quilting.

If you are a first-time paper piecer, as I am, this is not the book for you.

The book is pretty inside. It gives great ideas on how to change colors around, so the same pattern can look vastly different, just with the rearrangement of or choice of different colors.

It's got patterns. That's good.

But for a first-time paper piercer, who is learning HOW to do it, this is not for you.

First, the title tells me that this is about paper piecing, obviously. So I would expect a review of, at the front of the book, what KIND of paper to use. Go ahead. Look through the book. The whole book. It's not there. Not anywhere. If I'm learning about how to do something, I want all of the items needed to do that project clearly and easily listed, at the beginning of the book, with explanations on what kind do I need, what size if appropriate, where am I most likely to find this item, and so on. That's not in here. If you're taking a class and using this book with the class, and the teacher tells you - that's great. If you pick up this book on your own, or try to review it before even getting to said quilting class - you're going to be in some trouble. I got cold feet, though I went on the class and enjoyed it.

Another big problem for me is that the book does not make clear that when you photocopy the patterns, you really need to photocopy more than one set of an image, if you are going to have more than one of those items in your pattern.

I found this to be a great beginner book. I took a class in paper piecing and used this book many times to cement the procedure in my head.
I highly recommend having this book in your quilting library.

I thought this book would have given more detail on how to paper piece. Only one page was devoted to it. The quilts are old fashioned since to book was printed years ago. I got better instructions on YouTube. I didn't pay much for the book so I don't feel bad.

And this book has a great assortment. The best part of the book however are the instructions. I discovered short cuts or tips that make the process easier. If the book had a flat layout (spiral binder), it would be easier to copy the patterns....but then the book would cost more.

Although I haven't had a chance to use methods in the book yet, I can tell that it will be easy to get started with paper piecing using Carol Doak's great instructions. Best I've seen on the subject so far.
