Demystifing Design for Paper Piecing - Dana Jones



Name of Class: Demystifying Design for Foundation Paper Piecing 

Extreme angles, sharp points, precision piecing, easy patch cutting,
one-of-a-kind images and more are all possible with paper piecing. In this design class, you’ll learn how to create foundations for everything from traditional blocks to pictorial quilts. We’ll
start with foundation design for simple blocks — log cabin and flying geese — to
more complex blocks — butterflies, flowers, animals and more. In the process,
you’ll discover when paper piecing is the best piecing process for you. Then you’ll
design a simple pictorial quilt working from a photo or drawing you bring to class.
Whether you’re new to paper piecing or an experienced paper piecer, this class is
for you. Skills taught in the class will include:

Determining the number of foundations needed.

Numbering foundations for piecing order.

Labeling foundations and marking them for joining to other foundations.

Making templates for cutting patches for on-grain piecing and efficient use of
fabric.

This is a technique class but you will take home log-cabin and kite blocks,
foundations for several more blocks, and a design for a quilt that is uniquely yours.
We will do some in-class stitching in addition to pattern drawing.
