The latest twist on foundation paper piecing, this method speeds up the process by eliminating the need to cut apart and join individual sections when constructing blocks. The entire pattern is printed, sewn, and assembled on a single sheet of paper. It is an interesting idea that can save time when used to make blocks with multiple subunits. Since all of the pieces are pre-cut to the exact size, you can make more efficient use of fabric as well...Included are well illustrated directions for the method and helpful tips to troubleshoot common problems, as a quick start guide for experienced paper piecers. To get you started are patterns for over thirty traditional style 6" finished blocks

"The techniques in this book are very easy. The instructions were clear and detailed enough to get me past the 'quilt anxiety' I had. I would have liked a little more variation in the patterns, but the techniques are great!"
