September Meeting - Paper Piecing

9/13/2025

0 Comments

What a great meeting with Jane & Linda sharing paper piecing techniques and amazing samples and quilts.

Check out the resources and a Linda's final quilt from Amy Friend's workshop. She also shared her original block design with all the papers still on so that can be seen as how the blocks with paper still on go together, and the design needed mirrored blocks; and how I keep track of which fabric goes on which piece while constructing.

You can make-your-own FPP.

Members were able to try out the technique - and a good discussion about the difference between using paper or freezer paper.

Linda shared a PP motorcycle she received (details here: https://quiltingbiker.blogspot.com/2018/07/mini-swap-delight.html) in a guild swap that is absolutely amazing.

See all the details in the member's section.
