Paper piecing is not my favorite type of quilting mostly due to my dislike of the fabric waste. However, this book has excellent patterns / projects for birds that I think those who don't like to applique or want a faster way to achieve these designs will truly enjoy. Directions are easily understood and implemented..."

From very easy to more advanced paper-piecing patterns. Beautiful bids and a beautiful book. It is easy to really want to own this book."
