Free Paper Pieced Patterns

Paper piecing is a wonderful technique for all levels of quilting and sewing abilities. Each pattern piece is cut using a paper piece for a guide. Fabric and paper are sewn together to create crisp and even seam lines. Then gently pull off the paper from the back and you have a finished quilt top. This technique is particularly useful when creating miniature quilts and small wall-hangings.

All the website owners have included their favorite quilting tips on the making of quilts and their care.
