I am doing my first paper pieced quilt. It will be a gift for our new grandson. The pic at the left is the pattern I am using. I think it is a nice simple pattern to use for my first quilt.

Hi. My name is penny. I have decided my next project is going to be a paper pieced quilt. Just waiting for my instruction books to arrive. Looking forward to help form this group.

Hi, everyone. I am new to this group. I have wanted to try foundation piecing for some time, but hadn't found a good way to learn it, until a few days ago, I signed up for the Craftsy class the B A mentioned. I have started going through the tutorials and made the first block (pinwheel polka) and I am hooked!

1/19/12@6:46pm MST;  Hi Angela:  I was thinking to get that second book that is not available till April in your area, you could order it on line from Amazon (at a reduced Price) & get it earlier(like in a week or so) also, when I order from Amazon I order enough to get free shipping on the whole order.  Just a thought, hope you are making progress with your coloring.  BA

1/18/12 @2:24pm mdt: Hi Angela, thanks so much for the reply & I just came across a web site you might be interested in: www.Craftsy.com/Class/Quick-Strip-Paper-Piecing/43 they are offering a class @ 1/2 price for a limited time & I just previewed the lessons & will be signing up after I finish writing this.  No time limit on the class & you can go back to the lessons as often as necessary, which I think is a super idea, to refresh the techniques etc.  You indicated you are moving into a new home?  Congratulations & good luck with it.  How exciting.  You will have to tell me all about your new sewing area once you are settled in.  Thanks for your suggestions & will be happy to keep in touch.  BA

Hi BA. In Bonnie's book it is called Windmill - Twisted Log Cabin and there is a great photocopiable page for planning it - I have only got as far as buying the colouring pencils to start playing!!! I am waiting for the other book, which sadly isn't available here in UK until April, before I decide which quilt I am going to make this year as we are moving house and I have to keep my sewing very tidy all the time:(  I have tried twisted log cabin and it is not difficult just very fiddly with a real need for precision but doing it as a foundation should be a lot easier.  I think I would do it on a very fine backing such as Vilene rather than the Vellum suggested in the book but that is personal preference and my machine will handle it ok.  Love to keep in touch.  Angela

1/17/12 @ 6:10 pm mst::  ANGELA, thanks so much for your reply & information. I will check out the books you suggested & the web site.  Have you pieced this design before?   How did you find it, difficult or easy?  I am just taken by the design & want to play with it ASAP.  Thanks again for coming to my rescue. Do keep in touch.  What do they call this design?   Thanks again.

Hi BA. I also asked for info but unfortunately didn't get a reply. I finally tracked it down to the book 'Borders and Finishing Touches 2' by Bonnie K Browning. It is apparently also in 'Log Cabin with a Twist' by Barbara Kaempfer.  I really love it.  If you like this, you should check out Barbara Cline - she has a new book out which has a similar design but made from triangles - a picture of it is on her page on this site.  Hope this helps.  Angela

Pat, I love your Christmas skirt and like you would hate to cut a hole in it..makes a good table topper!

I am putting together one of my Glacier Star quilts and it is labor-intensive! But very pretty..will post a pic when I finish it.

I am fascinated with the picture at the top of this tab & would be most grateful if someone could/would tell me the pattern name or where I may find it, or anything about it.  Thanks in advance, SB
