right...I love to PP as much as the next..but unless you are doing the various stars, PP was meant to be used to do Pictorial blocks...flowers, bugs, etc....the other stuff is faster doing pieced!

Some people prefer to use paper piecing for most blocks where bias is going to be an issue since the paper helps control the bias. It also helps get super pointy points on stars and keeps people from chopping the points off when putting blocks together.

I'd go to your library and see what they have. Besides the Carol Doak books there is one called "Firm Foundations" by Jane Hall and Dixie Haywood, and "Showstopping Quilts to Foundation Piece" by Tricia Lund and Judy Pollard. I know there are more, but those are the only two I have out right now.

Fayzer - I love this Crazy Cats quilt!!! I'm a cat lover anyway and also help with a rescue so this would be a great one to make up for a raffle. Thanks - I've bookmarked it!
