Review Quilters Home - June 1, 2009
“I thought I'd seen it all in the world of paper piecing, but Mary Kay comes up with a new twist in her flip-flop technique tradition pieced quilt block and turn it into a paper-pieced endeavor if your just follow her process of sewing on both sides as needed. Well, I felt lie I'd earn an engineering degree by the time I stomped my way through the directions, but with more than 50 blocks to test my skills, I wasn't too frustrated (and frankly, I hate to paper piece). It's a handy technique for you miniature addicts, and couple of projects in the Gallery are truly fab-o-la. Should you buy this book? Hmm. Yes, with the understanding that you need a quiet place to carefully work through the steps. Like most paper-piecing techniques, it wont come easily, but the payoff can be big if you have the patience (which I do not).”

"...is a revolutionary single foundation technique. By single foundation, it means that only one foundation is used and there is no necessity to join two foundations together to form a single block. The ingenious way that Mary Kay Mouton has discovered is to use her Flip-Flop technique. It’s not difficult to understand, especially with the fabulous photographs and graphics that have been employed to help with the explanation. It is a very simple idea that really works.
May Kay has addressed all the issues that pop up when attempting to make only one foundation for your piecing such as getting rid of the Y seam, and when seams collide. There is even a description of how you can start your foundation piecing from the corner instead of the centre. This is a very interesting and manageable concept that might take a little time to digest, but it will taste great, once you’ve mastered the recipe!!C&T Publishing provided this review copy to me free of charge."
