DeeBooper I love your quilt, it is beautiful. I just finished my first paper piecing project. I LOVED it. It is a little time consuming but the results are beautiful with paper piecing. I made a Welcome banner that has a different block to change out each month. I just finished December's block so I could hang it up now.
I have the Carol Doak DVD. I have to to see something done I can't do much with books. After watching it I was ready to go and did a great job I think. The DVD was so well explained and I could stop it and rewind if I needed more help.
Now I am confident that I could do it on my own no problem, it's that easy to learn. You won't regret learning this technique the results are amazing. Good luck!

Definitely Carol Doak books!
And I agree, that you will either love or hate paper piecing. It is very precise though especially for difficult pointy patterns....and sometimes the only way you could make a pattern come out.
