Paper Pieced Quilt

Via Sharon B. I found Becka's Tsunami Block. She made it using the paper pieced technique. In her words:

"paper piecing is a way of making intricate or complicated designs easy to stitch"

So I have to found more about this unknown technique:

At her site there is a link to  paperpanache.com a commercial site that also shares lots of free patterns for this technique. Please take a look, my favourites are Heart, summer sherbert, support ribbon and Postcards

To try Paper piecing: "How to Paper Piece - Step by Step" .pdf and "Cutting the fabric for size and angles" .pdf from quiltseeds.com. You can also find some free patterns here, check her licorice pattern.

Wow I'm learning a lot!!!

Hi,
Paper piecing is so fun and there are some great patterns out there. There is a website that sells beautiful paper piecing patterns. They also have some very nice free patterns.
The site is: www.zippydesigns.com
They have gorgeous bird patterns, etc.

I would love to view the .pdf links you have posted, but they are broken links :(

Hi,
Just wanted to let you know that there is a new development at zippydesigns - they are going to put the magazine online so that people can go in and access it from there. They have done some awesome patterns over the last 8 years or so and I have subscribed since the magazine was in its second year. Another amazing paper based site is www.SilverLiningsOriginals.com which is owned by Linda Hibbert who has done some designing for Quilts with Style as it is now known.
Happy paper piecing
Gail
