About Our Group

I decided to start this group to celebrate the release of my new book, 60 Fabulous Paper-Pieced Stars. To celebrate, I designed 13 new Fabulous Paper-Pieced Stars that I shared on this group which then became my newest book, Carol Doak's Starry Block of the Month.

Since then we have had two other Blocks of the Month are are beginning our fourth Block of the Month June 2026. There is no charge to join in.

All of the techniques needed to make these blocks are described in the new book.

It is Here!!!!!!

I am so excited to tell you about my new book. This book is a second edition of my Best-Selling 50 Fabulous Paper-Pieced Stars book. This new book, titled 60 Fabulous Paper-Pieced Stars, gave me the opportunity to remake all the original blocks in contemporary fabrics. To be honest, at first I wasn't looking forward to remaking all 50 blocks, but as I finished each block and compared it to the block of 20 years ago, my response was always WOW! It also gave me the opportunity to go shopping for lots of contemporary fabrics.

When we consideredthe 2nd Edition, I was eager to add things to this book that I wished was in the original book. So, you will find in this book directions for calculating yardage for a quilt using one block.

There is no CD in this book because the Foundation Factory has sunset as QuiltPro Systems has gone out of business. However, Ihave found that scanning images into my computer as pdf. files offers the opportunity to have digital images that I can print in the original size, or scale up or down. This book will have a lay-flat bindingto make that processeasy.

And, the opportunity to design 10 new blocks to represent some of our National Parks was really fun. I think you will see that some of these blocks are very different types of 8 Pointed Stars.

Your can order now on Amazon by clicking on the image below, or ask your local quilt shop owner to order one for you so you will be sure to have your copy. The reviews are currently 100 Percent Five Stars! Click here to go to Amazon.com

New Free Pattern For Teaching Paper Piecing: I am often asked if patterns from my books can be copied and distributed for the purpose of teaching a class. They cannot as this would violate copyright.However, I have uploaded a block pattern in the Free Patterns section that can be used for teaching others how to paper piece. Permission to reproduce the pattern is given for this purpose and is printed on the pattern.
