Great PP patterns for a baby quilt ...

But not good for people who are new at paper piecing. This book does include basic instructions, but the patterns all need to be cut apart, which is not the usual practice. If you've succeeded at PPing before, you will do just fine - but if you just want to try it out, I'd recommend starting with a Carol Doak book until you feel confident. On a way postitive note, this book was ordered so that I can make a baby quilt for my SIL and BIL. They spent some time in Australia and had a blast trying to decide on just 12 animals out of this book for the quilt.
