English Paper Piecing

In 2018 Laura embarked on a fundraising project called the Ruby Star quilt. You can read about that project on her old blog pages here if you are interested. As part of the project she offered a worksheet which you can find on the left. It’s free for you to download, just click on the image.

Try your hand at English paper piecing. This is a traditional patchwork technique with lots of creative potential for the contemporary quilter. The method is worked by hand and uses minimal equipment so it’s great for the beginner and easily portable if you like to sew on the go!
