300 Paper-pieced Quilt Blocks

Summary: The Queen has another star in her crown.
Review: Carol Doak is often called the Queen of paper-piecing, and "300 Paper-Pieced Quilt Blocks" is the most recent reason why. The introductory pages contain a list of tools and supplies, suggestions for choosing fabrics and charts for calculating how much you will need. There are clear instructions - with pictures - on how to paper-piece, and tips on putting the blocks together.
The blocks are letters and numbers, houses, hearts, baskets, flowers and flower-pots, trucks and ducks, geometrics and graphics, and many more kinds of things. Besides being in the books, they are on the included CD-Rom disk, so they can be printed in any desired size. And here's a first - the disk is available for either Windows or Mac OS X.

Summary: Great book
Review: This is a great resource for quilt blocks. There is a huge variety to choose from and examples are given how to arrange the blocks. They are easy to make and fun to do. The CD-ROM is great too -- no more photocopying!!! Just print the patterns out.
