Even if you've never tried paper piecing before, you'll want to have this book. It takes paper piecing to a whole new level, and simplifies the process. For experienced piecers, you'll be amazed at how much faster you can make stunning blocks with Peggy's revolutionary method.

The book is exceptionally well-illustrated. Step-by-step photos walk you through the technique and explain it so clearly that it's the next best thing to taking a workshop with Peggy herself.

You are sure to find more than one quilt you'll want to make from the project section, and the gallery of quilts will inspire you with plenty of ideas. Even though they look complex, the projects are still easy to make, even for beginners.

Definitely a book every quilter should have!

I've been quilting for several years and had been discouraged when I tried paper foundation piecing because my brain just doesn't work that way. This book changed all that. The stars are astonishing and they're very easy to do. I've bought many quilting books and this is, without a doubt, the very best. I hope she writes another soon!

I am new to quilting but I have been sewing for years. I have been drawn to Paper Piecing since the beginning. Peggy Martin makes it easy. I have several books about paper piecing, but this lady knows her stuff and cuts right through the confusion. I also hope she writes more books; she difinitly has a repeat customer in me.
