MANY times I've ck'd this book out from local public library...but my state's star has SO many pieces...that even using paper piecing I "chicken out" time after time. It IS a really neat book! I'm SO happy for you. There are so many really creative fun star ideas included. HAVE FUN!

I use a paper called 'Easy Piece Foundation Paper' made by Zippy Designs. I just Googled Easy Pieced Foundation Paper and it came right up for places to get it. It is easy to see through, easy to remove and goes through your copier. It also says u can use it for needlepunch(although I've never used it for needlepunch). It is great. I have a lot of it. I don't remember the cost, but there are 25 sheets to the pack and they are 8 1/2 x 11 - the ones I have anyway.

I read this and stopped, so if this has already been mentioned, sorry. But the first thing I thought of was that movie about how the gal made every recipe in Julis Child's book, "Julie and Julia"

Maybe they're going to make a movie about you!

I also love this book and absolutely love it - just made my nephew and his new wife a quilt using the Oklahoma star.

Beautiful! If you did one star a week, you'd be done in less than a year!

I was so happy to see the book was on sale at Michael's, so I rushed over there today with my 40% off coupon, they said they don't accept coupons on books. :cry:
