Make it Simpler Paper Piecing: Easy as 1, 2, 3 - a Pinless Fold & Sew Technique by Anita Grossman Solomon

Out here in 'The Kingdom' it is pretty difficult to come by many quilting books, therefore I have been relying on ordering via Amazon or the monthly quilting meeting where we can borrow books from the library. I came across this one on a recent visit to the local Jarir Bookstore. I initially thought it was a book on paper piecing and definitely wanted to give it a go. However, on careful looking once home, I realised it was a new method of paper piecing quilting, a totally different quilting procedure. Not sure if its cos I'm a newbie but I did wonder why would you bother to do all this extra work when you can just do it the usual way which to me appears easier and quicker. Maybe its a more exact method but I don't think I want to worry too much about it.

Anyway, I don't think I've wasted too much on it as it was 35SR (approx £6) and there are some stunning blocks to make up and the templates are also included which just need to be reversed to make a standard block.

I love looking at the glossy pics and thinking, I'll make that one, and that one, oh and that one ... soon !

If you have this one I'd love to hear your opinion.
