English Paper Piecing - Tips and Techniques

The guild will be at the InglewooDIY Festival Market on May 31st. We'll post pictures after but will be handing out English Paper Piecing kits in order to introduce people to a low barrier to entry way to quilt. It's a great (and portable) project, perfect if you've got hours at the rink or pool, need a quick project in between supervising little ones or need something to take camping or to the lake.

If you're the recipient of one of our kits, or are just generally looking for some resoures, here are some trusted sources:

Overall Process

• American Patchwork and Quilting Blog

• Missouri Star (Jenny Doan and Sue Daley)

• Just Get It Done Quilts (Canadian)

There are a number of commercial quilt patterns which feature English Paper Piecing if you're ambitious to make a whole quilt. If not, consider making a needlebook, small pouch or journal cover.
