    If you don't want a book there are lots of free paper piecing patterns and instructions on the internet. I've gotten lots of great stuff that way. I agree about books by Carol Doak. She's great!

    http://www.amazon.com

    There's an Alex Anderson book for about $10 + s/h

    Anita Grossman Solomon is considered the founding mother of paper piecing. You can get her book used for $1.99 + s/h

    Any Carol Dorak book is a good investment - clear, concise directions. Also check out her website for good tips. enjoy paper piecing - it is addictive - I'm warning you :)

    Carol Doak is excellent but so is anything by Nancy Mahoney. She was in my quilt guild when I lived in Florida and I got to see her beautiful quilts up close. Here is a picture of one I paper pieced a few years ago. I received a second place for it in a quilt show. it was so much fun to make and had over 2000 pieces in it. You will love paper piecing!

    Carol Doak is the best IMHO, but with paper piecing be warned; you either love it or hate it. Hope you are one of the ones who love it.
