I had never heard of this before, have you? Paperless paper piecing! And not only that, it is way faster and way simpler. It only involves the pattern, a glue stick, your fabric and an iron. Okay, who am I kidding, I didn't use the iron, but finger pressed 1/4" seams when placing fabric down.
Did I mention how fast and simple it was? I think it is the greatest invention yet in quilting. And you can do it with paper, especially fancy scrapbooking paper and make little cards.
I think I may find some simple Christmas patterns and have my kids try it out. It is that easy!
This was my demo. I used scrap fabric and it is still not quilted. I had never bothered with paper piecing books before. Now I am scouring the internet like crazy for free patterns. Circles, I want circles in some form of paper piecing. Lately I have a thing for these shapes.
Now I gotta go and find me some patterns=)
