    I haven't done any curves in pp. What's that like? I'm very curious.

    I learned PP by taking a class with Carol Doak, and now have several of her books. If you go to her web site www.caroldoak.com you can find many of her free patterns an a lot of helpful hints. I loven pp but haven't done it in a while. Seems too many other things are keeping me busy right now. marge

    I love paper piecing! My problem is you are the first person that seems as enthusiastic as I am. I am new to these boards but I am looking for others who love it as well. I am having trouble finding patterns.

    You did what I did and used a really tough block to start with. I did a Marinars compass because I did not know enough to kow it was hard. Your block looks great!

    This is the website that has the patterns that I feel I just have to do when I get my current projects completed. The only problem is choosing just one. And knowing that they are pp makes me feel much more confident about my results.

    A while back when I was looking at PPing patterns, I found this site with quite a few free patterns. Here's the link:
