Paper-piecing

The past few years I've wanted to learn to quilt. My grandmother made some beautiful quilts during her life. I've made simple patchwork baby quilts but nothing beyond that. All the prep work of cutting the squares and strips seems so time consuming. A few months ago I saw a segment on Martha where a woman showed a paper-piecing technique. I got really excited because this seemed so much easier. You can just use scraps- no precise cutting etc. Click here for the tutorial from Martha's show.

Below are some sample squares I made from the Martha tutorial.





Cute coasters I quilted and used my serger to roll the hem.



I made my own paper-piecing tutorial which I will add tomorrow.
