Learn It

This project was made as part of a Craftsy course:
Quick-Strip Paper Piecing »

Category: Quilting

Type of item: Home Decor

For: Infant/Baby

Style: Traditional, Cute, Casual


Materials

8 different cotton fabrics, cotton batting

What was your inspiration?

Wanted to try a new technique - paper piecing. When I showed my mother one square she suggested a quilt. Since the colors weren't right for my house I decided to make a quilt for somebody who has just had a baby.

What are you most proud of?

I did it! Now I want to do one in different colors for me........ Yes, I do have the fabrics ready to go.

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

When making multiple copies of the template, draw dotted lines to show the 1/4 inch seam (I wasn't great at picturing it) and then make the copies.
