If you can sew a straight line, you can stitch accurate blocks using the paper foundation piecing method. Follow the step by step photographs to learn how to paper piece. Begin by measuring to cut strips or over-size shapes. Position them on the back side of the pattern and sew on the lines. No tedious cutting or marking required. Color photographs and full-size patterns are provided for 31 blocks using single, quarter, and split foundations. AUTHORBIO: Bonnie's mother taught her to sew as a child. She has been quilting since 1979, making her first quilt with blocks silk screened for an art class. Sharing her quilting knowledge, Bonnie conducts workshops for quilt groups and conferences across the country. She is a quilt judge, certified by NQA, and is qualified to judge master quilts. Her quilts, wallhangings, and clothing have been shown in galleries, museums, and quilt shows, winning numerous awards.

For the price, I was disappointed with this book. The patterns were nothing special (pretty ordinary and simplistic) and there weren't very many of them. The entire book is only 31 pages long. Buy Carol Doak's book instead... a much better investment!

Great for the beginner ... photographs guide you step-by-step through the paper-piecing method ... includes instructions for traditional and original blocks in addition to guides for choosing fabrics and setting up your sewing space ... 24 full-size patterns are printed in the book

I have a good number of pp pattern books and each one has its good and average patterns but I would NEVER have paid $300+ for any craft book unless it was written by Eve. The all time best PP author is any of the books by Carol Doak.
