Miniature quilts

I agree that PP can make piecing look so good! Love it. Now you have put
the bug in my head......

Thank you, Tricia! How's the quilt coming by the way? Was that fabric
anything close to what you were looking for? Thanks for the squishy, but I
sure didn't expect you to do that! I love the color!

This is very pretty! I'm PP'ing a miniature flying geese
quilt right now, using scraps from the baby quilt I'm
making. I don't think I could do it without PP.

The first quilt I made was a miniature flying geese. It is 6" X 8". I
didn't KNOW about paper piecing. That's why all the points aren't
perfect.

It's in my webshots:

I was crazy.

No, it shows you are a creative person who thinks outside of the box! I
love PP as well and just wish I had more time to do anything related to
quilting at this point in time!

I am so hooked on PP it isn't funny. I look for any way to get a block
into a foundation pattern Thank goodness for EQ5 which allows me to
create my own & print them out! I've even stooped so low as to PP nine
patches!!! Am I lazy or what?!

If you PP nine-patches, have you seen Anita Grossman Solomon's terrific

I PP everything I can, as well. I usually take a pattern
into Photoshop and that works well, too. Although EQ would
be ideal. I must say I've never tried PPing a 9-patch,
but now I'm going to try.

What is PP that you all are referring to?

Foundation or Paper Piecing. It's a method of putting
blocks together using numbered patterns printed on paper.
Here's a link that will explain it better than I can.

Hope this helps!

Hi Jacqueline,

PP is known as Paper Piecing. The block is printed onto paper with numbers
that correspond to the order they are sew onto to the paper. Clear as mud,
I know. Check out www.caroldoak.com NAYY (not affiliated, yada, yada). PP
can make your blocks looks perfect.

It is the only paper piecing I can bear to do. I'm not a paper piecing
fan but sometimes you just have to. I can do her method...no matching
up of little sub units and trying to get a perfect point or intersection
with them. Such a clever, clever method.

How does that work, please? I don't think I've seen it before.
