Paper piecing Patterns

You might find something on Carol Doak's site. I listed a link to her free patterns. I made a small wall hanging years back using a simple block but when put together made a complicated looking quilt.

I learned paper piecing by taking a craftsy class. You might try the Craftsy website, they may have some simple beginner paper piecing patterns. If you can, I would look for one that has less 'point matching' to start with. I like paper piecing fun pictoral blocks, but I'm not sure I would have gotten far if I started with a complicated star!

While not exactly easy, Fandom in Stitches has lots of fun, free paper piecing blocks. You could make as many or as few as you want.

I posted this earlier this week but I will post it here as well. Click the Free Paper Piecing Pattern tab at the top of www.wombatquilts.com
These are really cute blocks - I love paper piecing and these are some good ones. Thanks for sharing.

The best way to learn paper piecing is to use the Thangles papers. Then work up to more difficult patterns. Some shops use the Thangles to make 'buck a Block quilts. You pay a $1 (or more in some shops) and get two strips of fabric that you use with the Thangles to make a block. Next month you get more strips until you have enough blocks for your quilt. You can then purchase a finishing kit.
