    Her DVD is excellent as well - I am not as crazy about her paper as it is not transparent enough and photocoping can distort the design - which brings me to my question about paper piecing - which paper do you use??

    Your square is lovely.
    I bought this book to make a queen size quilt however, so far, each square has turned into a cushion,hot pad or table mat. They are really fun to make.

    Ive only done one, and used the copy paper to copy off the pattern, it was Bonnies's star or something.. made it in Xmas fabric and was very pleased - so am encouraged to go on.
    will most likely get the DVD if its still there at Joanns.

    I have looked at our Joanns, they have hardly anything of hers. I was sure disappointed. I don't do ordering on computer. So if I want one have to keep looking. I am a novice pper, but love it. I have copied off her patterns from her site. The easy ones lol. Great job on the block, can't wait to see the others.

    That sounds like a great project. Your quilt or quilts will be stunning.

    I've had my books spiral bound and while you can't take the pages out, they lay nice and flat when you are reading directions, and work to photocopy, too.

    I ordered mine directly from her at http://www.caroldoak.com/. She even honored my request to autograph it. I have also taken her class at a guild, and she is the greatest!
