Paper Piecing Part 1

What is paper piecing? How do I do it?

I'm just getting into quilting, and I keep seeing pages for "paper piecing." I don't know what that is, or how it works - help?

There are two kinds of paper piecing. English paper piecing is used to create one patch quilts like Grandmother's Flower Garden. A one patch quilt is one that uses only a single shape throughout the quilt. In this case it's a hexagon. You cut a gazillion pieces out of paper, cut the fabric slightly larger than the paper, fold the fabric around it and hand sew the resulting pieces together. The paper may or may not be removed. It's a time consuming process, although it produces lovely quilts.

Foundation piecing, often referred to as paper piecing, is done by machine. You draw or print the pattern on paper, freezer paper, or fabric and sew the fabric together through the paper. By sewing on the printed lines, you'll be able to do very accurate piecing in small, intricate blocks. If using paper, you tear the paper out along the seam lines after you've finished the block or quilt top. With freezer paper you fold it back along the sewing line and sew next to it rather than through it. Then you can peel the foundation off the block when you're finished and reuse it.

Here are some links to tutorials for the different methods:
